+# Customising Alaveteli
+
+<p class="lead">
+  There are two ways to make your installation look and act the way you want.
+  Some behaviour can be controlled with <strong>configuration settings</strong>.
+  For more complex changes, you'll need to create a new <strong>theme</strong>.
+</p>
+
+
+## Configuration settings
+
+You can customise much of Alaveteli's behaviour just by editing the configuration
+file. This [complete list of Alaveteli's config settings]({{ site.baseurl }}docs/customising/config)
+shows the sort of things you can control in this way.
+
+<!-- TODO key settings -->
+
+## Simple branding: colour and logo
+
+It's common to want to change the basic appearance of the site. Although you
+can simply edit the default templates and CSS to do this, we **strongly
+recommend** that you [create a theme]({{ site.baseurl }}docs/customising/themes).
+
+Themes do not need to be especially complex, but they allow your changes to
+work alongside the core code, which you can then update (when new releases or
+updates become available).
+
+## Need Alaveteli in a different language?
+
+No problem! See the [information about translating Alaveteli]({{ site.baseurl }}docs/customising/translation).
+
+## Complex changes
+
+If you are a developer (or you have a team of programmers available) you can
+add any customisation that you want. But it's important to do this without
+breaking the core code, so that you can accept new releases with updates.
+There's more detail in the [page about themes]({{ site.baseurl }}docs/customising/themes).
+
+See also the [documentation for developers]({{ site.baseurl }}docs/developers).
