Basics of Theme Development

WordPress themes have always been a complicated topic. What goes into a theme? What doesn’t? What’s actually required versus what’s a nice-to-have feature? Should I use a framework?

In this workshop, I’ll walk you through the basics of building your own custom theme from scratch. I’ll cover all of the necessary files and features you need to get your custom theme up and running, as well as teach you a few tricks on how to speed up your development process along the way.
