What is a skin?
Posted on July 31, 2009
A skin is a specific design that works with the basic foundational outlines of a theme and changes it to look a different way. Things like your logo, background colors, and the placement of content areas and sidebars are handled within the skin. When we create a web site for a client, we essentially select a theme that the client will be using, and then create a custom skin that will alter this appearance, applying the results of that skin to the clients theme.
