WordPress Themes are files and styles that work together
to create a presentation or look for a WordPress site.
Each Theme may be different from each other, offering
many choices for users to take advantage of in order
to instantly change their website look. Why should
you build your own WordPress Theme?
To create your own unique WordPress site look
To take advantage of templates, template tags,
and the WordPress Loop to
generate different web page 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
users to change the look of your site.
Design WordPress Theme(s) so that others may enjoy
your designs through public release.
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 presentation
and web page results unique to that Theme.
It allows for quick changes of the look and feel
of a WordPress site.
It takes away the need for a WordPress user to
have to learn CSS, HTML, and PHP in order to have
a good looking website.
