Bundle Contents
Before we begin with the installation process, let's review the content of the .zip theme bundle you downloaded after your purchase.
Zip file
The .zip file you downloaded after purchasing the theme should be unzipped first. Once unzipped, you will be able to access the files that are bundled in the purchase.
Below describes the contents that are included:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
README.txt | The bundled instructions. Read these first after downloading. |
dawn.#.#.#.zip | The Dawn parent theme |
dawn-child-theme.zip | The Dawn child theme |
elementor-kit.#.#.#.zip | The Dawn theme's Elementor template kit |
Dawn-design.fig | The Dawn theme's Figma source design file |
We will utilize these files as you go through the pages in this section. Read the README.txt file first once you've downloaded the bundle.
The Dawn parent and child themes
The Dawn theme is built off Elementor's official Hello Theme. This allows future theme updates to very closely align with Elementor's established practices for a fast-loading, performant theme.
Our bundle also includes the Dawn parent theme and a child theme.
The child theme allows you to override theme files to fit your own needs such as overriding styles or adding custom code. Using the child theme will allow you to make upgrades to the parent theme without overwriting your modifications.
We highly recommend you install the child theme if you intend to modify the theme files.
The Elementor template kit
The template kit contains all the theme's Elementor templates for every aspect of the site. It also contains the global style settings and the demo content as shown in dawn.gostartup.shop.
Let's review the prerequisites to installing the theme next, so you know what you'll need before installation can be completed.
The Dawn design Figma file
The Dawn design file is a bonus included in the purchase of your theme. This will allow you to explore the original design with Figma, and create new variations for your website. Customizing your designs in Figma creates a more rapid design discovery and review flow than directly designing in Elementor.
