Magento 2 Power Theming
Third-party themes. They seem to be the bane of existance for most Magento agencies. That new merchant surely used the best theme their previous agency recommended. But at the end of the day, a pig with lipstick is still a pig.
Needless to say, we're not a big fan of third-party themes. None of them are good; they aren't built well, don't follow best practices or coding guidelines, and come bundled with 30+ modules which will bring your site speed down to a crawl. This isn't the vision your client had in mind for their custom Magento build.
The Magento 2 Power Theming course empowers you to break out of third-party theme spaghetti code, so you can become that full-service agent your clients hired you to be.
That 100% completely custom theme, built from the ground up, ...tailored exactly to your client's needs? This course gives you the skills to craft these high-performing, great-looking frontends, which can be truly unique to your client's brand and image.
It's time to stop wrestling with third-party themes, and start bringing the creative visions that your merchants have to life.
This course helped prep me for the Adobe Commerce Frontend Exam. It explained each concept thoroughly, which made it very easy for me to understand. Top-notch training.
Foundational excellence
What you'll learn
It's not possible to build an all-encompassing course on Magento development, so we take a different approach.
Each course is focused on a specific outcome and follows a proprietary linear-learning approach that teaches you exactly what you need to know, when you need to know it. Nothing more, nothing less.
We also don't want to waste your time, so lessons are also short and concise, and you can easily reference them in the future.
