Danville Website Documentation

This website has been built using Adamas as the base theme, customized as required to meet your needs. As this theme comes with its own documentation, the details below will outline the specific modules & combinations used to create the various templates throughout this site.

This theme is built on the WordPress CMS (Content Management System). There is a lot of instruction and information on the basics of WordPress as it is one of the most used content management systems on the web.

If you are new to WordPress, here are some basic instruction to get you started.

This theme has been extended using WPBakery Page Builder. This plugin is designed to allow users to build pages with a drag and drop module feature, no programming knowledge required. This is the #1 page builder plugin for WordPress, and as a result, there is a lot of information out there on the additional features of modules not described below.

Tutorials on using the core modules can be found here.
