Breaking the process down into 9 manageable stages, from planning to distributing, the experts will tell you everything you need to know to create your own theme.<\/p>\n

Getting you off to a strong start, the planning stage prompts you to organise your initial ideas and concepts by writing them down to gain a clearer view of what you want from your theme and site.

The designing bit can be a fun task with the guide taking a look at typography, finding inspiration and picking out colours that will suit your theme. Once you\u2019ve moved through this phase, the guide shows you how develop each of your pages in HTML and CSS, before installing a local webserver for a speedy and secure approach to theming.<\/p>\n

The guide also encourages you to look more closely at WordPress as a whole, helping you to gain a better understanding of its structure before detailing how to download the framework of a blank WordPress theme to use as a blank canvas for your design.<\/p>\n

With helpful tips on WordPress\u2019 automatic features and how to avoid common WordPress mistakes and how to fix them, our guide offers up an array of knowledge and leaves no stone unturned.<\/p>\n
