 * You can use prebuilt themes and plugins, this is what a lot of people do to achieve
   their result. What specifically are you talking about? Design doesn’t involve
   PHP.

 * You don’t need to be an advanced PHP mastermind to develop a release-worthy WordPress
   theme.
 * With beginners-level of PHP knowledge, and your existing skills with other languages,
   you would be more than capable of producing good results.
 * There are tons of resources available that you could refer to:

 * Hi mehrdads,
 * you could also have a look at [Underscores](http://underscores.me/) and [Components](http://components.underscores.me/).
   There you basically get a starter theme where most of the work is already done
   and you only need to style and slightly modify the theme based on your personal
   requirements.

 * Hi [@themesumo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/themesumo/), Thanks for helping
   out. Could you instead link to resources on the Codex? For example, Creating 
   a Child Theme is thoroughly outlined here:

 * Thanks guys.
    In fact, I want to create animation onepages. Wordpress is good
   for security , performance and easy to use for customers. I’m gonna use Bootstrap,
   SASS and JavaScript for Front-End design. For example, I don’t know how to calling
   posts in blog page or other things.

 * Does this makes the conflict with theme’s codes ?
