Guide - how to use your template

1. What you get after purchase

After payment, you will receive a download link via email. The same link is available in your Layqo.com customer panel under "Orders".

Inside the ZIP file is a ready-made website - HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. The site is already personalized with the data you entered in the creator (company name, address, description, opening hours). Just upload it to hosting and it works.

2. Unpacking and file structure

After extracting the ZIP archive, you will see the following structure:

The most important file is index.html - this is where all your site content lives. You can open it in a browser (double click) to see how it looks.

3. How to edit your template

You do not need any special software. A free text editor is enough:

• Visual Studio Code (recommended!) - free, with syntax highlighting. Download from code.visualstudio.com
• Sublime Text - fast editor for any OS
• Atom - free and open source

Changing text content

Open index.html in the editor. Find the text you want to change and simply overwrite it:

4. Replacing images

Images are in the images/ folder. To replace an image:

1. Prepare your new image in JPG or PNG format
2. Name it the same as the old one (e.g. hero.jpg)
3. Copy it to the images/ folder (overwrite the old file)

5. Changing colors and fonts

Colors and fonts are defined at the top of the CSS file. Look for CSS variables:

Change the HEX color values to your own. Good color generators: coolors.co or colorhunt.co.

6. Uploading to hosting

Hosting is where your website lives on the Internet. Recommended providers:

• Netlify.com - free for static HTML sites, very easy
• Vercel.com - another great free option
• Hostinger.com - affordable paid hosting
• cyber_Folks.pl - good Polish hosting, from ~3 EUR/month

Step by step (cPanel hosting):

1. Buy hosting and log in to the control panel (cPanel or DirectAdmin)
2. Open "File Manager"
3. Go to the public_html folder
4. Upload all files from the extracted ZIP
5. Make sure index.html is directly inside public_html
6. Visit your domain in a browser - the site should work!

7. Connecting a domain

Buy a domain (e.g. mybusiness.com) from a domain registrar like Namecheap, Cloudflare, or OVH. Then set the DNS nameservers to those provided by your hosting. DNS changes can take a few minutes to 24 hours.

8. SSL certificate

SSL is essential - without it, browsers show a "Not Secure" warning, and Google lowers your search ranking. Most hosting providers offer a free SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt). Look for "SSL/TLS" in your hosting panel and enable it with one click.

9. SEO basics

Layqo templates are already SEO-optimized. A few additional things you can do:

1. Page title - edit the <title> tag. Include your business name and keywords.
2. Meta description - max 155 characters, compelling description.
3. Content - write natural, useful texts. Google values unique descriptions.
4. Image alt text - add alt attributes to every image.
5. Google Search Console - register your site at search.google.com/search-console
6. Google Business Profile - set up a profile on Google Maps if you have a local business.
