1  Set up Smallsite Design

!

While installing Smallsite Design produces a working but bare site, there are some settings that you will probably want to change.

The default user ID created when installing is sd. You may want to change that to your initials or a short nickname.

Each locale is assigned a language for the user interface (UI) elements, like buttons and menus, which will be derived from the locale ID if it matches one of the supplied UI languages, otherwise it is set to English. This can be changed at step 2 to a language that most of your intended audience would be likely to prefer.

The initial setting would have been derived from the master locale if there was a matching language, otherwise it will be set to English.

The selected language will be used immediately for all Smallsite Design buttons and text in all pages when viewed in the master locale.
