Customizing Wordpress Themes

Posted on 12. Dec, 2008 by Charly Leetham in Website Design & Development, Wordpress Installation & Customization

I have been honored to work with Jill Freeman from Roar Corps and helping her get her new website up and running.

When Jill came to me, she had an idea of the look and feel she wanted to portray to her customers and the colors she wanted, but that was about it.

Working with Jill, I was able to take an existing Wordpress Theme and customize it to her needs.

Jill’s business, Roar Corps, is aimed at helping Entrpreneurs or Small Businesses who are just starting out and providing them with business development consulting and sales training.

In developing the Roar Corps site, I started with the very clean design of Brian Gardners’ Revolution Lifestyle Blog Theme.

After receiving the Header graphic for Roar Corps, I customized the theme to integrate the header and colors.  The end result:

The features of this template are:

• Featured Content area on home page
• Featured Category posts (up to 3 Categories) on home page
• 3 columns
• Ability to add your own advertising links
