This session provides an overview of the word of WordPress theme development.
We will be Building a basic custom WordPress theme from scratch! This session is great for anyone with some basic HTML/CSS experience who wants to learn to create custom themes for your sites. Breaking away from prebuilt, commercial themes brings your skills to a whole nother level, giving you flexibility, speed, and options for customization you never had before.
We will identify the critical files of a WordPress theme (HINT: there are LITERALLY just two!), template hierarchy, basic WordPress theme functions, and basic ways to split up your theme files for the most flexibility.
