A starter site fills your store with a sample catalog so you can see Gemelune working before you add your own pieces: pieces with metal, size and length options, collections, occasions, journal stories, pages and a menu. Four of the five starters can also apply their own design: a style variation, header, footer and homepage.
Starter sites are optional and need WooCommerce.

You can see each one live on the Gemelune page.
Sample content is fictional. Every sample piece is labelled as such, and the photographs are rendered illustrations of fictional pieces.

One at a time
One starter is installed at a time. To try another, remove the installed one first.
Remove a starter
On Appearance → Gemelune → Starter sites, click Remove the starter site. It deletes the sample pieces, images, collections, journal stories, pages and menu the starter created, and puts back the styles, header, footer, homepage and site title you had before.
- Changes you made are kept. Anything you changed after the import stays as it is.
- Your own products are never deleted.
If you moved your own products and posts to drafts, Republish my hidden products and posts publishes them again.
