This is my first Joomla template experience. I have installed JA Candidate (raw, no content) on my hosted machine which provided a Joomla install via Softaculous. That meant I could not download the full demo (I think) since that is embedded in a full install of Joomla (right?). Finding out what I need to change to customize the site as desired appears to be based upon looking at a demo and making the necessary changes to your own site.
Any recommendations on how best to do this without a copy of the demo? Or should I just go back to knitting?
