New and improved screencast: How to make a custom theme

Hot off the presses, I've just completed a brand new custom theme screencast to help you design your nation.

The screencast covers all the essential details on how to get started in building a custom theme, such as how to clone a theme, overriding theme styles, SASS basics, the difference between theme and page level templates, and the basic structure of NationBuilder templates.

I've also included a couple demonstrations of the most frequently asked questions related to theming, such as how to mix different content together on one page, such as the latest couple of blog posts and the most recent upcoming event on a homepage.

The screencast is 23 minutes, but should go a long way in helping you design your nation to look exactly the way you want. 

Dive into more theming details in our NationBuilder theme documentation.

And, if you're interested in becoming a freelance designer for NationBuilder customers, email our chief organizer, Adriel Hampton, at adriel (at) nationbuilder.com.
