Once you added the code to your website, just refresh the page and you will see the gear icon in the middle of the left side of your website like shown in below screenshots
That's all. Now you can use the framework in your website. Please read carefully the important information before working with it.
What about Updates?
The url of links in Edit Head area are always updated with the latest version of framework. Please make sure the ones you're using on your website are the same like on my page above.
2. Important notes
It is very important to use Jimdo module Widget/HTML for all custom widgets. In this way the custom styles will overwrite the default Jimdo system styles. Some of the widgets will work only inside of module Widget/HTML!
Jimdo offers 2 types of template: fullwidth and boxed. If you're using boxed layout, the full width sections and parallax need to be added the class 'boxed'. This won't allow you to overlap the content area
3. Upgrade
4. Support
Support is available only for Zodiac Pro.
If you have found a bug or error, please leave the comment below always indicating the name of the template you're using.Thank you.

Hello,
How can I use the shortcodes for my website with the matrix theme?
I don’t really know where to install.
Greetings
Leo

@Leo you don't need to use zodiac with Matrix themes as all custom widgets are already included in default Matrix theme.
The framework can be used only in standard Jimdo templates

Hi
Why do you use a CSS class <h1> for your brand "Zodiac Framework". With this setup on every site of my client's website occurs two H1. This is very suboptimal regarding SEO. Is there a way to change it to <h2> or delete it?
Thanks for your response.
Dominique

@Dominique it's not important. However, you can change h1 tag for any other, span or simply remove it
