How do I buld a them like this? [NSFW link]

  • I’d like to design a theme along the lines of the following site, https://www.ceelogreen.com/ (my apologies for the site’s profanity). I can do a mock-up on Photoshop. But, my WP/CSS skills are very limited. Any suggestions on how to get this done?… Thx ahead of time!

  • I think WP and CSS knowledge are essential parts on designing WP themes. If you don’t specialize in those area, I suggest to team up with someone who can.

    Yeah, I know. But, I’d like to learn to develop my own WP themes. Trouble is, the learning curve seems a bit daunting. Is it as steep as it looks?

    start with a theme you like and would want to modify or similar to one you like
    back up all of the files
    install wordpress locally on your computer
    https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/
    or set up a “test” folder at your webhost and install wordpress
    install your theme
    make modifications to the style.css and other theme files to see what they look/act like
    if you mess up a file – upload a fresh one from your back up
    the more you do the more you learn
    also, google is your friend

    There are some themes that will allow you to create that look, from the base theme, but you WILL need a little CSS knowledge so that you know where to start.

    The first theme i ever customised from top to bottom was THESIS 1.6 , TONS of online tuts for everything from nav to footer and all the stuff between. what I liked was that it allowed me to use a .custom .css meaning if (when) i made a mistake, getting back in track was a simple process of ctrl+z until it looked OK again lol
