Hello,

Thank You so much for Purchasing Canvas! :)

Please consider taking a look at the Instructions provided in the Documentation > Start > Installation Section and Documentation > Start > Niche Demos Section to get started.

You will need to have some knowledge of HTML/CSS and a Text Editor like Sublime Text, Notepad++ or equivalent will be required to edit the Template Files to Add/Edit the Content.

Hope this Helps!

I've reviewed the documentation for installation and Niche demos, however, am still very confused on how to start.
I have experience with HTML and CSS so that is not the problem.

How do I begin customizing one of the niche sites? which file is the HTML for the homepage?
how do I add more pages to my site?

Also, I don't think styles.css was an anywhere in my download

Hello,

  1. You can find the Homepage HTML Files for the Niche Demos in the Package/HTML Folder with the name: demo-{niche}.html Template. The {niche} stands for the Name of the Niche Demo.

  2. The style.css File is in the Package/HTML Folder.

Hope this Helps!

okay thanks.
I found all the niche demo sites, but I still cannot find the style.css file anywhere

Hello,

We have just checked out the Package Files and the style.css is there in the Package/HTML Folder. Would be great if you can please Download the Package again or simply use the search only on the Package/HTML Folder.

Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.

ive downloaded it again, searched through all files in the package/HTML and still could not find the style.css

could you send me the style.css specifically? if not is there any way I can get my money back

Hello,

Surely we can send you the style.css File.

Unfortunately not, since the issue of missing style.css is only on your Downloads and no one else have reported it as of yet.

Hope this Helps!
