3. Install recommended plugins when prompted (e.g., page builder plugin, donation plugin, Redux framework, slider plugin).
4. Import demo content via One-Click Demo Import (usually under Appearance → Demo Import). This sets up pages, menus, widgets and sample content. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
5. Go to Theme Options (via Redux) and set your site identity (logo, colours, typography, social links).
6. Create or update your causes, donation forms, event pages and blog posts. Configure PayPal (or other gateways) for donations.
7. Ensure your donation pages and forms are secure (HTTPS) and test the donation flow before going live.
8. Review mobile responsiveness across device sizes and check performance (cache plugin, image optimisation, minification).

Tip: On live sites, after import disable demo imports and delete any sample users/content to preserve security and credibility.
