Evolving Web

A Drupal website can look pretty ordinary out-of-the box, but the look and feel of Drupal is actually really flexible. You can modify the HTML, add CSS and Javascript, change the layout, and make it all responsive. In this course, you'll learn how to build a Drupal theme to customize the look and feel of your Drupal site. We'll cover all the bases of theme development, from adding CSS to using Twig templates and preprocess functions.
This course is ideal for designers and developers who have an HTML/CSS background and want to get into Drupal theming and who are responsible for developing or maintaining a custom Drupal theme. It will also be useful for Drupal 7 themers who want to upgrade their skills.
