Style your website via custom themes and templates 

Sitefinity comes with a set of built-in templates and one default Basic theme, which can be directly used in the pages you create. You can also create your own custom templates and themes and use them side by side with the default ones.

This tutorial guides you through the steps required to create a custom theme. The template and the theme are suitable for hospital and company websites in general. Following this tutorial, you create a Green theme and a template for the sample Telerik Hospital site. The tutorial focuses on the following:

• Preparing your working environment
• Creating layout template
• Creating the theme
• Creating the home page
