goldroo documentation - Customization

This page is a work in progress ... Contact us if you want more information.

Your original goldroo files will create a standards compliant website with valid code.
To make sure your site operates across all browsers and systems, we suggest you check any changes you make with the W3C Markup Validation Service.
Most changes require you to clear the cache and refresh the pages before checking.

All fonts, background colors, positioning etc is controlled by information in CSS stylesheets.
To change the look and feel of your goldroo website, you can make changes to the following files: site.css and site-common.css.
When you look at the code of any of your website's pages you will find that blocks of code or text are enclosed by tags to which classes or IDs are applied, for example <div id="catbox"> or <div class="parent">.
If you want to change the look of the text within that tag, find the corresponding tag in one of the stylesheets, and change the options.
Make small changes at the time, upload your stylesheet, refresh your pages and check.
It is strongly suggested to save a copy of your stylesheets somewhere safe, before making any changes. That way you can always revert back to the old file.
Once you're happy with the changes you made, check your file for errors with the W3C CSS validator.
