Theme Matcher

Hey PH! Adding a blog to your product site is an effective way to engage with users and help with marketing. I found that getting a WordPress blog to look consistent with the main site was a challenge. If you don't do yourself, it takes a lot of time and money to coordinate with a freelancer to create a custom theme. Since the hard work has already been done on the product site, why not re-use that for the blog? I created Theme Matcher to automatically create custom WordPress themes from existing sites. It copies over the CSS, layout, and images to make a brand consistent WordPress theme. Unfortunately it can't work perfectly on every site, but it is fast and easy to see the result. Give it a shot!

I used this to create a theme, and I was pretty amped about how quickly I was able to do it. As en engineer, it was so much faster to go this route that to custom code my own, which I can do, but I just prefer not to since this saves me about 10+ hours of design + coding.

Pros:

Much quicker than building your own theme from scratch. I also like the fact that you create the exact theme you want really quick.

Cons:

It took me about a minute to figure out how to use it, but aside from that no complaints.

Cool idea! Looks really simple, which is great. @patmood what's the process like if you want to make future updates to the styling? Is that just like updating an existing Wordpress theme?

Thanks for sharing. Will definitely give this a try! 🙌
