1. “Skinning” – Theme and Icon Sets

Customization starts now! This is how you make your web site’s beauty “skin deep!” This is what I did. Give it a try and enjoy the power you feel as you watch your web site transform…

**Before proceeding with this step, you may want to make a logo for your new business, or have one made for you. This is completely OPTIONAL since you can do much to style your web site’s title and sub-heading (tag line) with any WordPress theme. I created a logo for Music-Decor using Apple’s ‘InDesign’ that I could envision being on t-shirts, hats, and other merchandise for advertising in the future. For more ideas on logos, see Creating a Marketable Logo. I am choosing my theme customizations based around the colors and style of my logo so that the web site will have a unified appearance.

Theme Selection

Color Scheme

I have selected the “Minima” Color Scheme so that pictures of products will pop. Try out different ones that you think you may like. This can always be changed – I may change my mind, too!

Icon Sets

I selected “Set 7” – I thought it looked unique. Try the different sets out yourself. Just select a set, re-fresh your domain tab and see if you like how it looks.

Show icons

I chose to “Select All.”
