Aspicio WordPress theme documentation, step 3: How we built our demo

Before building homepage, it’s suggested to create your products, product categories, posts and post categories.

First, we have created the following pages of the Aspicio WordPress theme documentation:

1. Home
2. About
3. Blog
4. Contact Us

WooCommerce plugin will create necessary pages – Shop, Cart, Checkout, My Account, Privacy Policy. These pages are not editable, except for Privacy Policy where you should put your text.

Homepage

The homepage is built using several patterns and blocks. The following are instructions on how to build the same homepage as shown in our demo. With little bit planning, you can build a homepage that will fully suit your needs, with more product categories, blog posts, etc.

The homepage in the Aspicio WordPress theme documentation is built from several sections. We will explain each section.

1. Insert Header pattern 4. Replace the text and image with your own, and set desired colors for the block background and text.
   
2. Second block is heading, where we added two spacer elements above and under it.
   
3. In the next section, you need to insert a columns block. Set block width to Wide Width, and set the number of columns to 5. Make sure to set columns 1,3 and 5 widths to 30%, while columns 2 and 4 should have a width of 5%. In columns 1,3 and 5 insert the image and heading under the image. The images that we used in our demo were prepared in Photoshop(rounded top).
   
4. For the best sellers section, insert a full-width group block, and set the background color. Insert header and text, and under them insert Handpicked products block from WooCommerce.
   
5. Final section contains a hand-picked product, so you will need to use Header pattern 4, and link it to the desired product.
   

About

About page should present a short story about the brand. For building About page we have used:

1. Heading element
2. Header pattern 3 element
3. About section in two columns pattern
4. Header pattern 2

Blog

The Blog page is the page where all posts are displayed. There are no elements on this page. This page is using a template Index.

Contact US

Contact Us page contains Contact pattern 1 with image that is inserted under it.

Aspicio WordPress theme documentation, step 4: Working with theme templates

With the new WordPress feature – Full Site Editing – tech-savvy users can easily tweak theme templates using Gutenberg editor, instead of messing with the theme code.

In Bonum theme, only header and footer templates can be tweaked. To start working with theme parts, in WordPress admin panel go to Appearance -> Template Parts. Click on the part that you wish to customize.

Here are example videos on how to perform simple changes in templates.
