Install Peerless, connect your brand colors and fonts, and publish your first page — a practical first hour with the theme.
Most theme onboarding reads like a manual. This one is a checklist you can finish before your coffee goes cold.
Install, connect, publish
Peerless is built so your first hour is productive. Install the theme, open theme settings, and set your primary and secondary colors — every button, link, and heading picks them up instantly through CSS variables.
Start from a template, not a blank page
Each page template ships assembled from reusable sections: a header, feature rows, testimonials, pricing, and a contact form. Swap copy and images first; rearrange sections later. Nothing is locked.
Make it yours
- Upload your logo in brand settings — the header and footer inherit it.
- Pick your fonts once in theme settings.
- Use the mobile preview before you publish; every module is responsive out of the box.
That is genuinely it. The rest of this blog covers the details when you want them.
Where to go next
Once your brand is wired in, two posts pick up where this one ends: why our modules ship with zero margins explains the spacing model you will meet in the editor, and the performance checklist keeps your new pages fast as content grows.
