This repository contains documentation and supporting material for a WordPress Theme Customizer project. The customization was done entirely using the WordPress Customizer available on the WordPress.com platform β no custom coding or local development tools were used.
The goal of this project was to explore and utilize the built-in WordPress Theme Customizer to personalize a theme to fit a specific design goal or user experience. This included making aesthetic and structural changes to the theme to match a desired brand or layout.
The following features of the WordPress Theme Customizer were explored and modified:
-
Site Identity

- Added a custom site icon (favicon)
-
Colors & Background
