I have been playing with WordPress for a few years, and experimenting quite a bit lately here, on Mobati, and elsewhere. Sure WordPress is a great platform for blogging, but its also great for developers and designers to build custom CMS based solutions for standard websites.

There are no real guides out there to aid in the process, its kind of a trial and error thing if you aren’t a hardcore developer or WP designer. And as designers, we really want a custom designed solution, but how do we know which pieces of the code we have to leave in, in order for WordPress not to break?

I have just started the tedious task of documenting and building out a development guide that will walk everyday WordPress users and designers through what to look at when building a custom solution. I am planning on releasing this WordPress theme development guide for designers before the summer time. I know, its quite a while, but you never know, it might come early. Stay tuned.
