Should you develop custom themes for clients? When is it necessary? Why should you build custom themes for clients? Things that will be covered in this talk include, starting a theme from scratch, theme boilerplates, working with clients through the process, cost, performance, properly planning theme architecture around clients content, integrating with plugins and custom plugins, presentation vs functionality, updates and maintenance, shipping and installing the theme, training clients, populating site with content, and getting paid!!
During this presentation, I showed how quickly ad easily someone new to DNN can get started with development using a module template. Then, I kicked it up a notch and showed how large teams and projects can be built using DNN.
Theming Joomla! can be hard work. Choosing the right template for a site involves balancing a wide range of style, structure and function factors. The choice often involves compromises and modifications. This is an overview of the theming and customization process, and a showcase of the broad spectrum of template options and tools, including reviews and demos of the most important ones. Presented to the Melbourne Joomla! User Group on 27 Aug 2014.
Creating Layouts and Landing Pages for Drupal 8 - DrupalCon DublinSuzanne Dergacheva
This presentation from DrupalCon Dublin covered site building techniques for creating landing pages and layouts, including using custom blocks, paragraphs, and panels, and then different theming approaches for creating these layouts.
Minimalist Theming: How to Build a Lean, Mean Drupal 8 ThemeSuzanne Dergacheva
Back in the Drupal 7 days (aka last year), we came across some pretty large, hard-to-maintain Drupal 7 sites. The theme was often responsible for a lot of the cruft. We saw themes with excess code, too many template files, and not enough documentation.
The Drupal 8 theme layer provides new features like libraries and Twig blocks that can help us to build cleaner, better-organized themes. So now is a good time for themers to re-visit which theming techniques to use to create themes that are smaller, maintainable, and well organized.
Evaluating Extensions: A Comprehensive Guide to Keeping Your Site CleanWill Strohl
The DNN ecosystem has a large number of options when it comes extensions available for you to use in your site. How do you know that the extensions you’re adding are exactly what you expected them to be? I’m not just talking about the ones you’d find in the Forge or Store – but those custom ones you have delivered to you too. After many years of deploying DNN personally and professionally for clients of all verticals and sizes, I’ve learned quite a bit about what vendors are and should be doing. This presentation will walk you through the process of ensuring that you don’t put the success of your website at risk.

The Web is in permanent evolution, specially the Front end world. Solutions like Responsive Web Design have transformed our day-to-day and forced us to rethink our workflow constantly.
Working with components means to take a step back to integrate and improve this workflow. New tools and methodologies that can help us are appearing every day and it only takes small mindset shifts to take full advantage of them.
Atomic design is an amazing example of these methodologies that are able to assist us with this change. It relies on interlocking components, from small bits like labels (atoms) to large systems like full page templates.
This applies to all the pieces involved in the Front end layer: from the design to the prototype creation or the final code, or also live Styleguides like KSS or CSS methodologies like BEM or SMACSS.
On top of all the above, it will allow us to test our Front end layer, avoiding regressions and preparing it for large-scale projects.
In this session, we will cover:
- What is a component
- How CSS methodologies like BEM or SMACSS can help to create or use components
- Why Design Systems are necessary
- When can we introduce this changes in our process
- Why Stylesguides can make the difference
- What can we do to have a more component-based Drupal project
As the focus shifts towards working in the “cloud” more and more businesses are utilizing Office 365 for their corporate intranets. This creates new challenges from a User Experience design. In this session we will dive into the methods for customizing an intranet built on Office 365. We will look at the options for customizing and how you can take these options further.

Presentation from the November 2013 East Bay WordPress Meetup: what Sallie Goetsch has learned she needs to tell designers who aren't familiar with WordPress.
Congratulations! You’ve installed WordPress! Now what?
Installing WordPress is just the beginning. Adjust your settings, choose a theme, and decide which plugins to run. At this month’s meetup four of our long-time meetup members are going to help you navigate WordPress after you install it.
This presentation shows the new features in SharePoint 2013 that help in building/designing websites that are added to bridge the gap between design and development of Websites on SharePoint 2013
Drupal 7 is a powerful and flexible CMS, but out of the box it lacks critical Search Engine Optimisation needs.
This presenation talks about the must-have modules required in every Drupal 7 installation as well as strategic implementation to make the most out of the organic visibility from your Drupal website.
The theme of your website has the capacity for beautiful, semantic markup...and also the hacky HTML soup. You can build a new theme by downloading a free theme and tearing out its guts--or you can learn how to become a theme surgeon.
In this session you will learn two key techniques needed to build a successful theme: crime scene investigation (identifying Drupal page elements in your design files) and power tools for copy-cat theming (things you need to recreate your design using Drupal). From start to finish we will transform a design file into a Drupal theme. With special attention given to your all-important questions: how do I save time with grid-based design? Should I use Panels? How do I make this bit of stuff appear next to that bit? Yah, but how do I start?
[This presentation was given at DrupalCon Chicago but the recording failed. Slides are available from http://www.slideshare.net/emmajane/forensic-theming-for-drupal]
About The Presenter
Emma Jane Hogbin is well known in the Drupal community for her engaging presentations and kickass theming book, Front End Drupal. She is currently working on her second book, Drupal: A user's guide which is due out shortly after DrupalCon. Through her training company, Design to Theme, emmajane has empowered thousands of people to create the Drupal site of their dreams.
Intended audience
Small business site builders who partner with graphic designers but have no idea how to make Drupal look like a design file. Intermediate themers who start with a free Drupal theme that looks "close" to the final site and then start hacking to make their theme. The audience currently does not use base themes and are frustrated at how complicated all of the code is. They are looking for shortcuts and some quick-fix solutions to make theming faster and more profitable.
Questions answered by this session
What are the key tools I need to use to make themeing Drupal easier?
How can I make Drupal markup less yucky?
Where should I start when building a new theme?
Yeah, but how do I theme *that thing*?
I want to see how you build a theme: show me!

Speedrun: Build a Website with Panels, Media, and More in 45 MinutesAcquia
Lightning is an open source starter kit and framework that helps developers tap into the richness of key D8 functionality, and build sites and experiences faster. At DrupalCon the team presented a session where we built an authoring experience live. This was the result of months of planning and practice. In this webinar, we will deconstruct each step in the build.
The broad concept for the experience we built during the speedrun was a product launch site with social feeds, CRM connected lead capture forms, authoring workflows for content marketers and campaign specific landing pages.
Speedrun steps that we will deconstruct:
-Develop a brand specific theme based on bootstrap using a css styleguide
-Configure a content approval workflow for content marketers and editors
-Configure new panelizer layouts, set defaults for editors and long-scroll landing pages using panels
-Create views-based social feeds, with curation based on a taxonomy
We all build different project sites during the years, and also used the content by query web part to lift up the different projects we was part of, but how can we achieve the same in Modern SharePoint.
In this session we will:
Use Hub sites as the home of our Projects,
Create a Project template with Site Design and Site Scripts,
Enable a flow to add some more magic.
Look at different web parts both from Microsoft and from the community to help us lift up our Project Sites.
Ensure it is is all security trimmed so that we don’t see more then we have access to see.
Really Cool!
And we will also make sure that our Projects are teamified so that we also can access them from Microsoft Teams, and with prepopulated content, so our Project Managers can start to work immediately So lets build the new Project Hub together.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

11. Site Architecture
Determine hierarchy of site navigation and structure
custom post types, taxonomies, featured images,
custom fields, sliders, widget areas, theme
options, etc...
14. You may need a custom theme if:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
You need to present different types of content in a unique way
You need to present a plugins presentation in a certain way
To Create a Unique look to the WP theme
To take advantage of templates, template tags, and the WordPress Loop
to generate different website results and looks.
To provide alternative templates for specific site features, such as category
pages and search result pages.
To quickly switch between two site layouts, or to take advantage of a
Theme or style switcher to allow site owners to change the look of your
site.
To provide “some” theme options for custom presentation
To take advantage of custom fields and meta data.
16. ●
How much does it cost? “It depends”
●
Try it out - Scope out a project as best you can, track your hours
to determine cost for future projects
●
“One size fits all” doesn’t apply - different types of themes are
going to have different prices
●
Stay on track - avoid scope creep and put language about
changes and modifications in the contract.
18. Designing the site
● Work off of site architecture / wireframe
● Design Preference - Browser? Photoshop?
● This is only one portion of the design process not a finished product
19. Development
There are several ways to begin developing custom themes:
1. Child Themes
2. Theme Frameworks
3. Starter themes
20. Child Themes
“A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the
functionality of another theme, called the parent theme.” - Codex
●
●
●
Inherits parent theme functionality
Good for simple theme modifications - add theme support, custom
backgrounds, changing colors, etc…
keep customization separate from parent theme core functionality
●
allow parent themes to be updated without destroying your modifications
●
take advantage of effort and testing put into parent theme
●
save on development time; no need to recreate the wheel
●
are a great way to get started to learn about theme development
22. Theme Frameworks
“A ‘drop-in’ code library that is used to facilitate
development of a Theme” - Codex
●
Developers can leverage a framework’s built-in code, options,
plug-ins, and themes from which to develop.
●
Eliminates the need to re-invent the wheel for each project.
●
Decrease time spent developing a theme

24. Theme Framework Considerations:
●
●
●
●
●
Adds a layer of complexity to WordPress
More to manage, more to update, and a sometimes a bulkier
admin.
Plugin compatibility
Some frameworks charge for support and updates
Unused features and options
25. Starter Themes
Base themes with all the essential files and
functions required for a WordPress theme but with
minimal to no styles.
26. A few places to start:
●
Underscores
- underscores.me
●
Roots
- roots.io
●
Bones
- themble.com/bones
27. Starter theme considerations
Choosing a starter theme to work with is up to your preference and depends on
the way you like to work.
Example: Roots is built with Twitter Bootstrap and uses LESS. Bones is based
on the HTML5 Boilerplate and is ready for LESS or SASS development.
Using a starter theme gives you control over what features you want to add.
The world is at your fingertips.
You will need some time and skills to build a custom theme with a starter theme
29. Theme Options
● Keep them to a minimum, if possible
● Theme options should affect display
not functionality.
● Use the theme customizer
● Use WordPress Options API
33. Required Plugins?
How about suggested plugins?
TGM Plugin Activation

WordPress themes (and other plugins)

37. Wrap plugin functions in conditionals in the theme
<?php // if Advanced Custom Fields function exists and the
field is not empty display the field
if ( function_exists( 'get_field' ) ) {
if( get_field( 'some_custom_field' )
the_field( 'some_custom_field' );
}
}
) {
?>
If the plugin is disabled you will avoid receiving error messages or a blank screen.
44. Debug!
●
Set WP_debug to true in your wp_config.php file.
●
Use developer plugins - wordpress.org/plugins/developer
/**
* For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
*
* Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
* It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
* in their development environments.
*/
define('WP_DEBUG', true );
50. “Can we make this area a scroll area?”
“I want this to be a dropdown box.”
“When you click on this button I want it to go to the contact page.”
“I don’t really understand what all this Lorem Ipsum is?”
“That wasn’t in the mockup.”
“That looked different in the mockup.”
“These aren’t my photos!”
“What are we looking at here? I don’t understand.”
51. Present the theme to the
client with their content
● Load the clients content into WordPress. Hire
someone if necessary
● Present client site on your test server (staging site)
● If they already have a WP site - export their data
and import it into your development environment
● Disable search engine visibility in Settings =>
Reading
54. ● Use an under construction plugin while
prepping the site.
● Upload theme and plugins
● Upload data if needed.
● Configure theme and plugin settings
● Double check everything
