Welcome to the advanced theme customization tutorial! In this guide, we will walk you through the process of customizing the theme of our website. This tutorial is designed for developers who have a basic understanding of web development and theme customization.

Getting Started

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A local development environment set up with a web server.
  • Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Access to the theme files of our website.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Understanding Theme Structure

The first step is to understand the structure of the theme files. Our theme is divided into several directories, each containing different types of files:

  • assets/: Contains images, CSS, and JavaScript files.
  • components/: Contains reusable UI components.
  • layout/: Contains the main layout files, such as header, footer, and sidebar.
  • pages/: Contains the individual page templates.
  • styles/: Contains the global styles for the theme.

2. Customizing Styles

To customize the theme, you can override the existing styles by creating a new CSS file and adding your custom styles. Place this file in the styles directory of your local theme.

/* styles/custom.css */
body {
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
}

3. Customizing Components

If you want to customize a specific component, you can create a new file in the components directory and modify the existing code.

<!-- components/my-component.html -->
<div class="my-component">
  <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</div>

4. Customizing Layout

To customize the layout, you can modify the files in the layout directory. For example, you can change the header or footer by editing the corresponding files.

<!-- layout/header.html -->
<nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

5. Customizing Pages

If you want to customize a specific page, you can create a new file in the pages directory and modify the existing code.

<!-- pages/my-page.html -->
<h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>
<p>This is a custom page.</p>
