Editing Creating Custom WordPress Themes (section)

== Workflow ==

=== Create a working template of the site framework ===
* Create a single file containing the site headers, body, and footer based on the client's design.
* The document headers and page framework from this template file will ultimately be copied into the WordPress theme header and footer documents.

=== Copy the default theme ===
* `[WP_ROOT]/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/` > `[WP_ROOT]/wp-content/themes/[CLIENT_SITE_NAME]/`
* '''WP Dashboard''' > '''Appearance''' > '''Themes''' > Activate the new theme
* Put those theme files in version control.
* Delete the other theme files so they won't cause prompts when new versions are available.

=== Theme properties ===
The theme's properties (name, version, author, description) as displayed in the Themes dashboard are defined in `[THEME_PATH]/style.css`. 
* For a custom theme update:
* Theme Name
* Theme URI
* Author
* Author URI
* Description
* Version
* Text Domain

=== Miscellaneous ===
* After the new theme's design is finalized, take a screenshot and upload it to `[THEME_PATH]/screenshot.png`
