# KISS First-Time Wizard Design ## Philosophy: Keep It Simple, Stupid **Core Principles**: - **Minimal Steps**: Only essential configuration - **Clear Interface**: Simple, intuitive design - **Fast Setup**: Get users operational quickly - **Progressive Disclosure**: Advanced options hidden by default ## Wizard Flow: 3-Step Process ### Step 1: Basic Setup (Required) ```markdown **Essential Configuration** - Language Selection - Timezone Setup - Network Mode (Router/DMZ) - Admin Password ``` ### Step 2: Security Profile (Optional) ```markdown **Quick Security Setup** - Home Network (Basic) - Office Network (Medium) - High Security (Advanced) - Custom Configuration ``` ### Step 3: Module Selection (Optional) ```markdown **Quick Module Setup** - Recommended Modules - Security Modules - Network Modules - Performance Modules ``` ## UI Design: Clean and Simple ### Wireframe Structure ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SECUBOX FIRST-TIME SETUP WIZARD │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ✓ Welcome to SecuBox!
