Quick Start
Use this short path to get SAISON from installed theme to a useful, launch-ready draft before tuning every advanced section.
SAISON has many editorial sections, but a good first setup is simple: configure the global system, build the key purchase paths, test mobile, then publish.
First Hour Setup
- Install SAISON and confirm you are customizing the correct unpublished theme.
- Add logo, favicon, social share image, fonts, colors, page width, and spacing density.
- Choose header navigation, footer links, announcement bar, and contact/support links.
- Configure product cards, swatches, quick add, cart drawer, and search/filter behavior.
- Build one focused homepage: hero, shopping path, story section, proof, and final conversion path.
- Open a product page and choose Runway, 50/50, or 60/40 before tuning media or blocks.
- Open a collection page and check filters, sorting, product cards, swatches, and quick add.
- Preview desktop and mobile for homepage, product page, collection page, cart drawer, full cart, search, and contact page.
- Run the launch checklist before publishing.
