### WordPress initial configuration
After theme install we have some little jobs to do to get it working properly!
- First, **create a menu** then assign it into primary navigation
- (optional) You may want to setup some **Widgets** into footer.
- Last but not the least, we need to create the **homepage** (and optionally upload a featured image). After that, go to "settings" then "reading" and choose the homepage that we have just created (as a static homepage). Anyhow Modul-r support the blog mode with the post loop as frontpage, so isn't required but recommended.
🎉 Job done ready to start!

- Change the **color scheme** (generaly typography colors, header and footer)
- Change the **typography **(font-family, line height, font size)
- Change the Header / Footer **layout**
- Enable or disable the **sidebar**
- Choose the **hero **image height
- Add some link to your **social media**
### Panels

#### Colors
Various color personalization are available to allow you to change all colours independently and let your imagination run wild.
#### Typography
By default you are allowed to choose two fonts and three thicknesses, but you have to make sure that these are available. That is why I recommend that you use the preview of the customizer to check that the fonts are loaded correctly.
