What can themes do?
Themes take the content stored by WordPress and display it in the browser. When you create a WordPress theme, you decide how that content looks and is displayed. There are many options available to you when building your theme. The biggest limit is your imagination.
As a theme creator, you can:
- Create different layouts, such as one, two or more columns.
- Control the typography of the site with custom font choices.
- Skin the site with any color scheme you want.
- Put a sidebar on the left or right side of the page. Or, have no sidebar at all.
- Display featured images alongside posts.
