How to Make a Custom WordPress Theme in a few Minutes
In this step-by-step WordPress tutorial, we show you how to use the GeneratePress theme & Elementor plugin to create a beautiful custom WordPress theme using custom designed in Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.
Why do we need a custom WordPress theme?
There have been many times in which I have gotten disappointed with promising premium themes that proved to be incredibly slow. This was money that had been wasted because there was no chance I would stay with any multipurpose theme that promised the world, but ended up with pages that took 4-5 seconds to load. A disaster in terms of SEO. Since I am a WordPress Developer & SEO Strategist, I would prefer to develop WP websites from scratch (Design template using Adobe Illustrator -> Build a Child theme -> Develop pages using Elementor Plugin)
These are step-by-step
- Design your own templates using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, after that slice this template into slices
- After setup WordPress, Install GeneretePress child theme – you can download it from here http://generatepress.com/api/themes/generatepress_child.zip
- Now, install Elementor plugin
- Start creating a page using Elementor and import your sliced images (header, body, footer) as per your template, please refer this https://elementor.com/features/theme-builder/
Now, your own custom WP theme is ready for launch in a few minutes. Developing your own custom WP theme is always best for fast page loading, mobile responsiveness, use any plugins & good for SEO optimization.
