Hi everybody, I am Cuong, Welcome back to my Magento 2 tutorial video series. Today, I am going to show everybody the best practice.
How to create a custom theme in Magento 2.
By default, Magento 2 provides us with two themes.
1. Blank theme
2. Luma theme (This is a child theme of the Blank theme)
You can see these themes here. You can use these themes for your store, however, if you want to customize the default design or if you need to create your own theme, Magento strongly recommends not to change or edit the default Luma and Blank theme files.
So why should you create a child theme in Magento 2?
1. A child theme is inherited from a parent theme.
2. We will be able to retain our customization and also maintain both the original theme and the customized theme in separate folders.
3. We will not be lost the changes while upgrading the parent theme.
4. We can create multiple storefronts having other interfaces, with every a child theme we will have an interface.
