Customise Design

Before changing the visual design (otherwise known as the "theme", or "skin") of your Plumi site it is helpful to understand how a Plone site is put together. This tutorial on plone.org breaks down the main display elements in a Plone site, and shows you how to control and customize the appearance of each element.
