Introduction

WordPress is the most popular content management system (CMS) on the Web. Users of the WordPress platform can easily publish their content on the Internet because of its intuitive user interface. A large segment of the WordPress user community wants to delve a bit deeper into the platform so they can not only publish content, but also make their Web sites look fantastic through the customization, design, and manipulation of their WordPress themes. In fact, as a WordPress designer and consultant, two of the most frequent questions I hear from my clients are “How can I design my own theme for WordPress?” and “How can I design and build my entire Web site with WordPress?”

This book answers those questions and unlocks the mysteries of designing Web sites with the WordPress content management system. If you have ever tried to tweak an existing WordPress theme file, or even design your own WordPress theme from scratch, and have found it to be intimidating or too difficult to understand, this book breaks it down for you in a friendly and easy-to-understand manner.
