How to edit your website Before asking your Account manager to create a new website, we recommend taking the time to register the domain name that you want to use for your website. It s possible to start the process without the domain name, but there is a possibility of someone else registering the same domain name you wanted to use while setting up your new Kigo website. How to access the website > Now that your website is created, click on Websites > EDIT / VIEW to the new URL created where you will be able to view your new website. KIGO PLUGIN The first time you enter into your Kigo Wordpress Dashboard you will see a Welcome message 2

2.1 INITIAL SETUP Now is time to review how the KIGO plugin works! First of all, we need to verify that the main domain we ll use is correctly placed in the SITE URL of this section. 3

If the domain name does not match with the domain name entered in the KIGO app, this message will appear: 2.2 DATA SYNC Once the website is ready to add your customized content, we will need to import all the data content that comes from the KIGO application. When you click on the CREATE DEFAULT PAGES, a pop up window will open and after a few moments, a list of all the pages created will appear. With this button the plugin will create all the automatic content generated by the Kigo app. Step 1 > Click on the CREATE DEFAULT PAGES button. 4

Step 2 > It will open a small pop up window asking to CONFIRM. Please accept it. Step 3 > A new window will appear after a few seconds. It will display the list of pages generated by the system. 5

- Can we add extra widgets/plugins in the system? There is no way to add extra widgets or plugins to the system. - Can we change the template to another one once it is set up? Yes, you can change the THEME easily but take into account that every THEME will require some adjustments. We recommend changing the THEME only 1 / 2 times per year because it may affect the SEO indexation. - Can we ask for changes to the template? Some template/css code changes can be done by yourself using the THEME CUSTOMIZATION. Example of changes that can be done by yourself: Theme colour (website elements such as buttons, footer etc) Font type Font size Logo positioning Layout adjustments (for example, if content is overlapping due to text being too long) For any other changes or requests you will have to contact our Professional Services team. 53
