# Setting up a web site with Camino theme {#setup}

After Camino is installed and activated it needs to be loaded.

## Page tree {#page-tree}

Ensure that at least one page exists in the Page Tree and the root / parent page
is configured correctly: **Root Page > Page Properties > Behaviour > Use as Root Page**

When a Root Page is created, a new Site record is automatically available.

## Edit Site Configuration {#edit-site-configuration}

Access the `Setup` module: **Sites > Setup > Edit Site Configuration (pencil icon) > General**

## Adjust page tree and backend layouts {#adjust-page-tree-and-backend-layouts}

Now that the theme is activated, revisit your page tree
to apply the backend layouts, so that you can place
Camino-specific content elements and adapt the frontend
output.
