To get started with customizing the theme, you first need to set up a front page. If you want to make your website look like the demo, you should select the Front page as Static Page. With Digital Download Pro, we have two options for the homepage. We can keep the custom homepage as the front page and even the portfolio page as the front page of your website.
So, first, we will create a homepage and blog page and then configure them.
