# Getting Started

Use Theme Raed to customize a Salla storefront with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and reusable Twig components. It also supports JavaScript events and hooks.

## Before you start

You need:

- Familiarity with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the [Twig template engine](https://twig.symfony.com/).
- A [Salla Partners account](https://salla.partners/) and a demo store for testing.
- A GitHub account to sync the theme repository.
- [Salla CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@salla.sa/cli) if you use the command-line setup.

## Create your theme

Theme Raed is installed as the default theme when you create a Twilight theme. Choose one of the documented setup methods:

- [Create a theme through Salla Partners](https://docs.salla.dev/doc-421877/?nav=01HNFTD5Y5ESFQS3P9MJ0721VM#creating-theme-via-salla-partners-portal).
