Advice to do a WP theme "easily" please
Hello BBHF,

A friend asked me to try to do a custom theme for him because I know CSS, HTML. I don't want to start with a "blank theme", I have no time to create from scratch... So...

Do you know useful tools I can use ? If possible free or nulled, because I just use it once. I think tools like Artisteer, Pinegrow, WP Site Designer 2 (dreamweaver extension), etc...

Thanks

Use a framework like Simpl Skeleton and then find a copy of CSS Hero. Simpl Skeleton is more or less just a basic outline of a wordpress theme, and CSS Hero lets you use CSS/HTML "visually" (dont need to edit the php files, it's an on-screen widget you can use to design).

Unfortunately, "easily" creating WP themes is not really an option. CSS/HTML are good to know, but you need to understand fair deal of PHP, maybe some Curl as well to really pump out custom WP themes. And most software that "easily" lets you create WP themes is garbage upon garbage, offer VERY little customization, and just plain don't work most of the time.

Seems like it should be easier, but.. WELCOME TO WP THEME DESIGN! :D
