1.1 Introduction

If you’ve ever wanted to customize the front-end of your WordPress site, you probably know the easiest way to do so is by using the built-in customizer. However, sometimes this might not be enough. Another hugely popular method is a theme options page, but creating one is something a lot of people struggle with.

In this course I’ll show you, step by step, how to create such a page, and most importantly give you a solid base that you can later build on.

I’m Adi Purdila, let’s begin.
