Customizing the Exported Code
Once you have your code, you can customize it to better fit your needs. Here are some tips:
Editing HTML
Open the HTML files in a code editor. You can modify the structure, add new sections, or change content to match your design goals.
Styling with CSS
CSS files are included in the exported package. Customize styles by editing these files or adding your own CSS rules to override existing styles.
Adding Custom JavaScript

Tips for Effective Customization
