Click and select - DJ Organic - Settings.json from the disk on your computer 

     

Publish your changes




Once the settings are loaded, save them. The builder sometimes needs to refresh its cache, close it and reopen it.

6. The appearance of the home page
Go to the builder tab



Then to the library



select my leyouts and then upload layout 





Then select DJ Organic - Layouts.json from your computer. After doing this, you will see a list of available layouts that we use in our demo

Try to set up your home page now. Select the appropriate layout - "DJ Organic Homepage" and click.
Now you have a start page, just like in our demo (of course, if you added our pictures. If not, you can use your own. Complete them on each element in the web builder)



12. Set up shop page:
Add a menu item for the store page. To do this, go to the menu, create a new menu, name it (e.g. Main Menu), pin it to the Navbar area, add item and then select the type for this item: Products / All Products

     

Then publish it.

Now we have "All Products" menu item in Main Menu located ad position Navbar



Publish this menu to Mobile Dialog as well

 

Don't forget to publish your changes

If you have previously introduced products, go to the menu item for the store and configure the menu for the store; go to the menu item "All Products".
Your website is not looking excellent right now. But you can quickly correct it in the following steps.



Go to the "templates" tab in the main builder menu and click the "New Template" button. 



Name this template e.g. "Product List". Then click the "Save" button



Now you can create a new template by clicking the "Builder" button



As you did on the home page, go to the library and select the layout that suits this page. Try DJ Organic- Products Listing - Sidebar Filter
The Layout will load, and you will see a beautifully formatted product listing page. Save it.







Save layout.
You should define your own widgets here, e.g. filters and list of categories and arrange the items according to your needs,

Then click on any product item. 
As you can see, the situation is similar. You need to create a template for the product.
Go to the "templates" tab in the main builder menu and click the "New Template" button. Name this template e.g. "Single Product Page". Then click the "Save" button 





Then go to "Single Product Page" by clicking the "Builder" button



And choose the proper layout from the library - "DJ Organic - Single product."





The product sheet is also ready and looks great



Save layout.
Using ready-made layouts, you will build other subpages. Of course, you can modify the views as you wish. You can create layouts on regular articles or page templates depending on the context you are in at the moment. Yootheme documentation will be helpful in this.

Advice
It is a good practice to have a complete quickstart copy somewhere else, allowing you to see the different settings used there.
