Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage

[Matt]

Can you start from a stock Invision Community 5 installation and have it themed, customized, and a new homepage built in under an hour without relying on custom templates and coding?

Yes, and Jimi Wikman, a long-time Invision Community customer, did just that in his latest YouTube video.

Jimi has over twenty-five years of experience in development and twenty years of experience in graphic design.

Invision Community 5 has been in testing for a few months now, and Jimi produced this amazing walkthrough of Invision Community 5's new page editor and theme editor while re-creating his own site.

Our vision for Invision Community 5 was to put the power into the hands of everyone, not just those who are proficient in PHP, HTML, and CSS. Jimi's video shows this vision as a reality as he moves through the theme editor to create his custom theme, and the page editor to build a custom homepage.

Sit back and enjoy watching Jimi put together a new site.

Thanks Jimi!
