@ValR told me the other day she'd like to know more about how the theming process works. I think it would be worth making a presentation. Especially since we have some new employees as well. I was wondering what you guys would like to know.

Here are some ideas that may be of interest:

  • Branches
  • Clusters
  • Staging/Production environments
  • Pockets
  • Customize Theme
  • Updating a client
  • Base themes/Customized themes

    CSMs are also welcome to talk about any pain points on your end as well! We're always open to reviewing how we work.

    I'd like to see some attention for the squishy side of the equation:

    • Setting expectations with the customer
    • Providing customer design guidance
    • Reviewing mockups
    • How to get good feedback from the customer
    • Alternate workflows for DIY themes & those expectations
