In WordPress, a Theme is the style or “look and feel” of your website and can be easily changed at any time. The default theme may suit your needs, however we have several more for you to choose from. Three of the themes come with banners for the schools at UCI, however you can also upload your own header to customize the site to suit your own needs. WordPress allows you browse and try out themes before you commit to using them.
