SitePoint recently released a new WordPress base theme. It's very easy to customize and you can quickly and easily build advanced WordPress themes to suit your needs.
The SitePoint Base Theme gives you full permission to edit and modify the base theme. After downloading this theme, I customized it to build a theme for my WordPress blog.
There are two different ways to customize this theme:
- Create a child theme.
- Use SitePoint Base Theme to kick off your own awesome theme.
In this tutorial, I am going to explain, how to create a child theme and modify the SitePoint Base theme.

Getting Started
I prefer to use a local WordPress installation to create and test new WordPress themes. A local development environment can make your development workflow much faster and simpler.
I'm using WAMP Server for Windows. You can use any tool of your choice to set up local WordPress development environment. MAMP for MAC, WAMP for Windows, XAMPP and Bitnami are cross platform tools to install WordPress locally.
- Install WordPress locally with WAMP Server
- Download Sitepoint Base Theme
- Download a code editor. I prefer SublimeText.
After setting up a local WordPress installation, run your local WordPress site, install and activate SitePoint base theme.
