 * Hi there,
 * I work for a web development business and would like to start developing my own
   WP themes but I can’t find a clear solution on what tools I should be using.
 * Normally my development environments reside on a subdomain I create off my website
   which I password protect/hide from Google etc. This works well because not only
   does it free up my PC’s resources (compared to if I was building it locally) 
   but I can access the dev environment from any machine.
 * That being the case (wanting my dev environments to not be stored locally), I
   am more than happy to use the code editor tools offered in cPanel to modify the
   files directly on the site however I am wanting to start using SASS which requires
   compiling, which from what I assume needs to be done locally.
 * My question is (sorry, after all of that), what are other people’s processes 
   in most efficiently developing WordPress themes and what are the tools you use?
 * Thanks!

 * Everyone is different. You just need to find what works for you. Some people 
   use Adobe products to model their products while other just create using browser
   tools.
 * There is no right or wrong answer, it’s just what works for you and what you’re
   comfortable with.

 * Absolutely, I guess my intent for this post was to hear what works for other 
   people and what tools they use 🙂
