In order to edit the template, please read the documentation file (user guide) provided within the download package.
It's a simple task, no coding knowledge is required.
Further customization of the main template files [HTML, CSS, JS, PHP] can be done by using Dreamweaver (for example). You can simply open the files in Dreamweaver, make your edits, and then upload them to the server.
Please note, this is not a WordPress theme, it’s an HTML5 template.
In order to upload files to your server, please follow these relatively easy steps:
1. unzip the purchased ZIP file
2. open the template folder
3. connect to your server via your preferred FTP client
4. open the server folder named ‘public_html’
(if you don't have a ‘public_html’ folder, please contact your hosting provider for further instructions)
5. upload all files from the template folder
public_html folder
The public_html folder is the web root for your primary domain name.
This means that public_html is the folder where you put all website files which you want to appear when someone types your main domain (the one you provided when you signed up for hosting).
Or put another way, when someone types your domain name into their browser, whatever is in the public_html folder is what will be shown to them.
Examples
For example, if you have a file called index.html (or any of the other default filenames) in the public_html folder, it will display that page.
If you do not have a default file in the public_html folder (such as index.html, default.html, etc.), then a list of files in the public_html folder will be shown.
