Customize theme appearance

Customize theme appearance in WordPress — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Update the site appearance for Green Market Coffee to match the spring campaign. In the theme customizer change the primary color to #C43A2B, set the header font to Lora, adjust the site title size to 28px, and save the customization. Tell me which three pages I must review after this change and why.

Before I send the appearance changes to the client, make the customizer easy to review. Pull the three highest-impact tweaks to emphasize at the top: color swap, header font, title size. Identify any places where that color could harm contrast (buttons, footer links), and flag one sample page where the change could break layout or brand rules so I can get Priya's approval quickly.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

client asked for bolder header but now accessibility complaints

I changed the header font to Lora and increased the site title to 28px after Tom asked for bolder branding. The client says text fails contrast on certain buttons and Eva from compliance says WCAG warnings appear. I don’t know which elements violate contrast or how to revert specific changes without losing the new look. What should I check first and how do I produce a quick remediation that keeps the bolder branding but fixes contrast issues before Friday?

Become — change the pattern

appearance tweaks repeatedly trigger accessibility fixes

Every redesign cycle we push visual tweaks that later trigger accessibility complaints from compliance and clients, adding extra meetings. Which habit should I adopt to catch these issues earlier? Recommend one check to add to our pre-release checklist and one change to how we present visual options to clients so fewer tweaks are rejected later.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
