First Steps

The initial Pavilion installation provides no default content. You will have an empty home page if you don’t choose to import sample data.

You should use the Page Builder to organize the content of your home page, to create custom information pages or to enrich the existing system pages (product and category listings, user account etc.) with custom blocks.

With the help of the Styles editor you can apply different designs and customize the appearance of the theme in great detail. You can control the margin, padding and column spacing for each area, define column size, set border and border radius, apply multiple shadows and attach multiple backgrounds.

Useful

It is recommended to turn off (from System -> Cache panel) the styles, menu and content cache while you are setting up your store initially. If not, you may have to clear the cache manually if you want to see all changes instantly on the frontend. Of course, you may want to turn the cache back on when going live.
