Can You Design Your Own Themes?

[Belthazar]

Really this is for everything. Can you design on a theme? If you're good at it, how did you learn to do it and do it well? Personally I'm horrible at designing anything. I couldn't design a good theme if I wanted to.

Yes and no. Yes I know how. No I'm tooooo lazy.

Yes, I know how and do design my own themes for forums, websites, and Wordpress blogs. Usually, I start with an idea in Photoshop, then code that idea and bam, I have a forum, website or blog.

I can design themes for vBulletin ,phpBB and Xenforo so far, still not 100% efficient on XenForo as I haven't used it for long. I learned how to do it by just doing it, there is no other way to explain it. I looked at the codes and started experimenting.

I can design a theme for basically anything. I pretty much started doing freelance design work off of Craigslist and multiple clients asked for forum themes, CMS themes, etc so I basically taught myself. I see myself as a pretty good designer actually.

I have tried having a mess around to create my own themes however I am no good at all with actually creating anything that would be worthy of being used however it is always fun to mess around and work on my skills. My boyfriend is good at making themes and has in the past made a few basic good ones so if I ever need a basic unique theme he is usually my go to person.

No, but I would love to learn how to.

I usually make my own since I know what colors I want to go with and the look I want to achieve.

If they are basic themes, yes. Otherwise, no. I want to work on that in the future though!

 

[Britanica]

I have never tried myself. I know how to code and configure a prebuilt forum theme. I use Xenforo myself with a paid theme so it isn't like it is hard to figure out or anything lol

Way too lazy here as well. But yes, it's possible for me to do so.
