Overview of this book

Magento is the e-commerce software and platform trusted by the world’s leading brands. Using Magento’s powerful theming engine, you can control the look, content, and functionality, and easily launch a flexible e-commerce website. However, because of its powerful features, developing Magento themes is easier said than done. This book aims to leverage the enhancements to theme designing in Magento 2 to the fullest. It will show you how to gear up the performance of your e-commerce website. We begin by introducing Magento 2 and its features along with implementing a local development Magento environment. We then move on to discuss the concepts of the Magento theme structure such as templates, inheritance, customization, and override. Further on, we explore the Magento UI Library, which is a new feature available in Magento 2.0. We will create a new Magento 2.0 theme named MyCake Store using Magento Bootstrap from Maven E-commerce and also create print strategies for the Magento 2.0 theme. We will also create and customize a new theme proposal for the Magento admin panel. At the end, we will integrate Magento 2.0 to Twitter and integrate it with social bookmarking and finally deploy our new Magento 2.0 theme.

Why create a custom Magento 2 theme?

There are a number of reasons why you may want to create or customize a Magento 2 theme:

  • The first and most obvious reason to customize your Magento 2 theme is that this can help you to distinguish your store from your competitors.
  • Customizing your Magento 2 theme can also allow you to better integrate extensions from Magento Connect into your store, with additional features.
  • If you have an existing website and wish to add e-commerce by integrating Magento 2 around the existing system, theming Magento 2 can make sure that there is visually seamless integration between the two systems.
  • Theming Magento 2 can also be useful in order to customize your store to reflect the different expectations of your customers from around the world. For example, customers in some countries may expect components of your store to appear in one location on their screen, so you could theme Magento 2 to reflect this if your customers are primarily from that country.
