WordPress Themes

WordPress Themes form part of the WordPress content management framework, on the front end. There are over 30,000 different themes available to purchase that can change the website’s default presentation and design characteristics. The themes are developed through standardised formats that can be generated by common third -party theme design engines.

Theme developers design their site by using front-end techniques like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. To create a fast and efficient process WordPress provides a framework as a starting point for users who then only have to alter specific templates. WordPress provides a basic HTML template for elements on the site that can be overridden by a theme, this then alters the generated markup. Themes are generally used for three main purposes such as changing the HTML markup of any element on the site; adding CSS styles to alter the presentation of pages, and to use JavaScript. Generally, themes make changes to HTML markup and simultaneously create new CSS files to develop layouts and overall presentation of pages on a site. JavaScript alters the user’s interaction with the content of the page.

We work with a combination of both commercially available off-the-shelf WordPress themes, or totally custom themes that we develop ourselves.

Our development teams have developed WordPress Themes for a number of projects in the past and would be happy to discuss any potential projects you have in mind for the platform.
