Installing Business lite
If this is your first WordPress theme, this section will walk you through the steps necessary to install Business lite.
First login to WordPress. Typically located at http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin
Once logged in press the “Appearance” tab in the left-hand menu of WP-Admin Dashboard and press “Themes”. Then press the “Install Themes” tab at the top of the page.
Next, press the “Upload” tab and press the “Choose File” button and browse to the location where you downloaded businesslite.zip. Once the file has been selected, press the “Install Now” button. Once the theme has been uploaded, and installed, simply activate the theme and you are ready to begin using Business lite. You can also press "search" and find Business lite from the WordPress.org theme repository list.
Using the Business lite Menu
For complete control over Business lite's Menu, we highly recommend using the WordPress menu system. By default, any page you make becomes a link in the menu.
To begin creating your own custom menu, visit Apperance > Menus while logged into WP-Admin. Assign a name for your menu (navigation for example) and begin adding your menu items by using the options available to you in the left-hand menu. You can either make your own custom links by entering in the URL and the Label (the text that will actually show up in the menu), or by selecting and adding currently existing pages.
You may then drag and drop each item to re-order them. Once you are done creating your menu, select it from the Header Menu dropdown list and press save menu. Now your new custom menu will appear in your menu.
