This is a two-session track.
So, you have been designing and developing, but have come to the point in your career that you are needing to apply your skills to splicing and coding that PSD to WordPress, right? For anyone that has never worked with designing with WordPress, it might be a bit confusing, but really… it is not.
In this session, we WILL assume you know coding like CSS and HTML. We WILL go over what a basic theme should have, and some tricks to make translating that graphic image you made into a WordPress theme. Even if you know intermediate to advance skill level in PHP or other markup languages, this session will at least lead you on the way to coding your theme with the necessary WordPress elements to make your code ninja skills easier.
The important thing to take away from this session is that you should NEVER be intimidated by code, especially when taking a layered graphic like a PSD or another similar file format and making it into a WordPress theme. I hope that my session helps simplify your thinking and allows you to not just think outside of the box, but like Deepak Chopra says “get rid of the box.”
