In WordPress, a theme provides presentation and style rules for the WordPress content.

Custom themes allow you to make WordPress sites than look like anything.

Any web page which you can make in HTML (and CSS, and JavaScript), you can make a theme which looks and acts the same.

A custom theme combines your HTML with the necessary WordPress-related PHP.

Much of this PHP can be implemented by beginners using copy-and-paste.

Requirements include:

  • Some specifici knowledge about the structure of WordPress themes and templates
