+### Adding Custom Styles
+
+Adding custom styles to the devise theme is simple. There are two options 
+available for doing so:
+
+1. Set style parameters in the `config.toml` file
+2. Add custom [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) to your assets folder
+
+#### Option 1:
+
+In the `config.toml` file of your website, you can set the following custom style
+parameters: 
+
+```toml
+[params.style]
+  backgroundColor = "#f8f9fa"
+  fontColor = "#212529"
+```
+
+#### Option 2:
+
+To add custom [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) to the devise theme, you'll 
+need to add the following file to the root directory of your site:
+
+- `assets/sass/custom.scss`
+
+In the file, you can use [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) syntax to declare
+your custom styles. After doing so, you should see custom styling added to 
+your devise based Hugo site.
