Customizing the application layout

Web applications can be categorized as projects and products. A project is something we develop to target the specific requirements of a client. On the other hand, a product is an application created based on the common set of requirements for a wide range of users. Therefore, customizations will be required on layouts of your product based on different clients.

WordPress themes make it simple to customize the layout and features using child themes. We can make the necessary modifications in the child theme while keeping the core layout in the parent theme. This will prevent any code duplications in customizing layouts. Also, the ability to switch themes is a powerful feature that eases the layout customization.
