How to Create a Custom WordPress Theme

April 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Detroit, MI - Total Bounty has announced today it's newest marketplace release "How to Create a Custom WordPress Theme", by Ten Ton Books.  This video tutorial series includes more than 13 hours of on screen training, and includes supporting materials.

Do you know your way around Photoshop?  Do you know just enough HTML and CSS code to be able to create basic web pages?  This WordPress video course show you how to create a web PSD design template in Photoshop using a grid based system.  You'll learn things like how to add and style navigation elements, comment areas, blog post pages, photo galleries, and featured content slider sections.  That part of this training course is worth the prices of admission alone.

Where this course really shines are the steps beyond that.  There are lots of Photoshop tutorials and websites to help you create and showcase website designs.  There are also lots of blog posts and tutorial websites on how to create, edit, hack, and maintain WordPress themes.  What you almost never see is how to take that graphic design out of Photoshop in PSD form and translate it to actual PHP, HTML, and CSS code creating an installable, working WordPress custom theme of your own.

Also (at times) designers tend to me a little less technical than programmers, so the tutorials that you can find are sometimes hard to follow.  From the very first introductory video, Geoff talks to you in a style that's easy to understand, and very, very easy to follow.

You will fine the following 11 chapters within the "Scratch Building WordPress Themes with Photoshop":

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Setting Up Photoshop for Web Layout!
