Creating a WordPress theme from scratch is not hard. I’ll hold your hand through it.
Tutorials on this topic have been written before and the WordPress website also has guides for you to follow. But are those tutorials and guides really helpful to you when you don’t understand the lingo? Even I got lost while reading the WordPress guides.

Before that, you need to download and install a localhost in your pc. I am using xampp for this. After that, download wordpress from wordpress official website. Then, we will use the default theme to start the wordpress implementation. Below is the main sections that we need to take care with. I also create a few extra files for the theme we are going to build.

Following on from the recent article on “PSD to HTML”, this tutorial will look at taking a HTML/CSS template and turning it into a functioning WordPress theme. There is so much you can do when creating your own theme we couldn’t nearly cover it all. So, we’re going to look at how themes are structured, creation of the core files and splitting up that index.html file.

This is the Chapter II of the Complete WordPress Theme Guide series. This chapter will show you how to build a custom WordPress theme. Although the Codex site provides very good documentations on how to create a theme, but I find it too complicated for a beginner. In this tutorial, I will explain the basics of how WordPress theme works and show you how to convert a static HTML template into a theme. No PHP skill is required, but you need Photoshop and CSS skills to create your own design.

Back in 2005, I wrote a little tutorial for WordPress 1.5 on how to integrate wordpress with an existing website. Since then, with the release of WordPress 2.x, working with WordPress has become even easier. This tutorial is an update to my original tutorial and as it appears under a different name, I want to take a moment to clarify who this tutorial is for.
This tutorial is especially for:
- People interested in learning how to build a WordPress theme from scratch or, more specifically, for those interested in taking an existing design and converting it into a beautifully working WordPress theme.
- People interested in integrating WordPress with their existing website. As touched on lightly in my first tutorial, the best way to go about integration, in my experience, is to take your existing website and build a WordPress theme out of it, then apply that theme to your WordPress blog and voila, if all has gone well you have a perfect integration. It can require some handiness with CSS, but the principles covered in this tutorial will get you well on your way.

Over the last few weeks, I have been been doing a video screencast series on Designing for WordPress. It is a three-part series which covers downloading and installing WordPress on a server all the way to a completed theme.

WordPress is the most popular and the best (in my opinion) blogging platform, created by Automattic. It’s really easy to use and it’s very powerful, giving you the opportunity to build any kind of site, from blogs to shopping carts and CMS’s. In this series of tutorials, we are going to create our first WordPress theme. For this tutorial you need to have a little more than basic knowledge about HTML and CSS. Let’s get started.You can Download source files and you can also Live preview the theme here. It’s a basic css layout so it will be easy for beginners to convert it into a working WordPress theme.

WordPress is one of the most successful blogging platform which we too are currently on. From the past few articles we have been giving out a few cool wordpress themes for download. Instead of coming up with some more themes, we decided to write a tutorial on how to develop a wordpress theme which we are sure will help a lot of you to design as you wish and bring them out into wordpress.
