Theming a resorts new Commerce site is an important part of the on-boarding services that we offer at Aspenware. One of the reasons that resorts choose Aspenware is that we have the ability to integrate our e-Commerce platform seamlessly into their customer experience - transitioning customers from their brand site to their store with the same general look and feel between both experiences.

Sales brings us a new customer → Client is assigned a Client Services team member → Services and Product Owners work out on-boarding timelines and allocate staff resources → Services and AW “designer” meet with client resort to decide on theme options → Design Task is assigned to Developer
The standard theme offering includes up to 20 hours of development resources. Most themes will take less time than that, however that time does include revisions based on feedback from the clientresort.
Theming is accomplished primarily through the use of dedicated CSS files for each clientresort, contained within a Theme folder. Other things that their theme folders include are images, logos, fonts (if embedding), theme config files, and custom header/footer files. When working on themes, you will be updating all of these files in the creation process. 90% of the theme set-up is accomplished through the editing of resort specific SCSS files.
What does theming include?
Theming is part design, part development. Theming is applied to varying degrees on both the resorts Commerce and Identity platforms. We will apply their brand colors appropriately to the design templates.
We will optimize and scale images wherever necessary for the theme. That includes logo images, hero and slider images, various page background images, spinner/loader images, and create favicon sets.
