I have built several WordPress themes with the different Material Design libraries and frameworks that are available online. It is fun to integrate these CSS and JS libraries into a WordPress theme and make everything work together nicely. Normally you can just add the CSS and JS files into the theme, enqueue the scripts and styles, add a few classes to the WordPress theme files, and you are set. Other times it requires a little more work.
If you haven’t already checked out MaterialWP or MDLWP, you should. MaterialWP is actually a theme created with a Bootstrap based framework that has Material Design inspired elements and components.
MDLWP is a WordPress theme based off the Material Design Lite library that Google recently released.
I have even created a website that collects and lists different Material Design based themes and templates over at MaterialDesignThemes.com. With all that said, you can see that I have a lot of projects that integrate Material Design into WordPress.
When people download the Material Design WordPress themes I offer, I frequently get questions about how to add or change certain features.
Because of this, I thought it would be a good idea to create some tutorials on how to create a Material Design WordPress theme from scratch. The tutorials are 100% free and you can sign up and watch them over at WPThemeCourse.com.
The tutorials start with a starter theme over at Underscores.me and takes you through the steps of adding Material Design to your WordPress theme files. The tutorials also cover how I use tools like Gulp, Bower, and Sass to speed up and optimize the theme development process.
