Sub theme in two steps!

Traditionally to create a sub theme, a themer would have to spend hours copying and changing templates, adding css, adding assets and then begin thumbing and making customizations. Spending this amount of time to create a single sub-theme might be acceptable, but when it has to be done multiple times it becomes repetitive and costly. This was an issue Genuine faced when building a unified Drupal platform for a multi-brand, consumer packaged goods company. The developers at Genuine implemented a quick two step Grunt and Sass based solution that allowed each branded site to quickly create, customize and maintain a standardized, responsive and device agnostic sub-themes that inherit changes from the base theme.

In this session we will go over the sub-theme approach that Genuine implemented which will describe how to generate sub-themes using Grunt and Sass in a matter of minutes rather then hours. Saving countless hours of theming time.

In this session we will cover:
• The Grunt and Sass sub-theme process Genuine has implemented
• The benefits of this process and how it saves hours of dev time
• How to implement this process in your own projects
