WEB210 » 07b) WordPress Prototype Theme Creation

Victoria Moiseenko Works on Her Prototype Theme

Once your Designers have their Content Layout (Wireframes) approved, you, yes… YOU, the Developer, will need to make the Template files and create a working Prototype Theme. And, yes, I realize that the preceding sentence broke all of the Writing for the Web rules.

Requirements:

• From the Content Layout (Wireframes), you should start by Creating your WordPress Prototype Theme theme that includes 1) index.php and 2) style.css.
• You will then work on Creating the Template Files for a WordPress Theme and implementing the WordPress functions.
• This Prototype Theme should be uploaded to your GitHub repository and used as your Working Theme in your WordPress install on you Development Staging Server.
• I will check the “Protosite” and “GitHub” links from your Client Staging Area as your “Templates & Prototype Theme Creation” assignment according to the class Schedule (Fall) or Schedule (Summer) for review and grade.

Template Examples: 

• web170-templates | Mike Sinkula on GitHub
• realself-templates | Mike Sinkula on GitHub

(Prototype) Theme Examples:

• web170-demo | Mike Sinkula on GitHub
• realself-trends-live | Mike Sinkula on GitHub
