The service provider who provides the conversion services takes these design files, and this is when the process begins.



The next step: Slicing and coding.

The first step is when the developers start to slice the individual design elements from the design menus (menu tabs, buttons, images, icons, etc…). After slicing these elements they are then placed in an HTML format.

Thereafter, the HTML ‘wire-frame’ is divided as well as coded into PHP templates that are specific for WordPress. Then the developer codes the style elements into CSS. Likewise, the process is repeated for all the design pages.

Extras and Debugging

After completion of this done, the theme files (style-sheets, templates, the functions file and several others) are packed in one folder and has gone through exhaustive testing rigorous for finding out bugs, browser compatibility, performance, and responsiveness and then after these exhaustive steps come to the final product.
