This article is about developing WordPress Themes. If you wish to learn more
about how to install and use Themes, review Using
Themes. This topic differs from Using
Themesbecause it discusses the technical aspects of writing code to build
your own Themes rather than how to activate Themes or where to obtain new
Themes.
Why WordPress Themes
WordPress Themes are files that work together to create the design and
functionality of a WordPress site. Each Theme may be different, offering many
choices for site owners to instantly change their website look.
You may wish to develop WordPress Themes for your own use, for a client
project or tosubmit
to the WordPress Theme Directory. Why else should you build a WordPress
Theme?
- To create a unique look for your WordPress site.
- To take advantage of templates, template
tags, and the
WordPress Loop to generate different website results and looks.
- To provide alternative templates for specific site features, such
as category
pages and search result pages.
- To quickly switch between two site layouts, or to take advantage of
a Theme or
style switcher to allow site owners to change the look of your
site.
A WordPress Theme has many benefits, too.
- It separates the presentation styles and template
files from the system files so the site will upgrade without drastic
changes to the visual presentation of the site.
- It allows for customization of the site functionality unique to that
Theme.
- It allows for quick changes of the visual design and layout of a WordPress
site.
- It removes the need for a typical WordPress site owner to have to learn
CSS, HTML, and PHP in order to have a great-looking website.
Why should you build your own WordPress Theme? That‘s the real question.
- It‘s an opportunity to learn more about CSS, HTML, and PHP.
- It‘s an opportunity to put your expertise with CSS, HTML, and PHP to
work.
- It‘s creative.
- It‘s fun (most of the time).
- If you release
it to the public, you can feel good that you shared and gave something
back to the WordPress
Community (okay, bragging rights)
