Hi TeamTreeHouse, I have something that I would like to ask and see if there is someone who can help me with a process that I seem to be confused on.
When one designs a website for Wordpress or a framework for Wordpress, does one first create the entire site using a text editor, bootstrap, and designing the whole site this way.
and then when the site is finished, does one then make a child theme and then upload that into Wordpress?
I am very good at coding and designing my site, with what I consider the proper way. Good ol' fashion HTML, CSS and a text editor. But then how do we go from the one to the other?
I could have very well have missed that in the Wordpress classes that I have taken or not gotten to that part yet.
But I trying to bridge this gap of knowledge.
Any help, advice, thoughts would be great.
Thanks Gary

The first chapter is all about project scope and workflow. You can see he created the 'template site' in pure HTML/CSS/JS and the remainder of the course takes you through converting it into a WordPress theme.
I have designed a site at the same time as building the WP theme, but things tended to get messy so I much prefer the above method.
