Course description
SharePoint provides a number of ways to change the look and feel of sites. These include very simple options like changing a site’s description, logo, and title, and setting the home page. There is also a new engine in SharePoint 2013 which relies upon CSS. There are also more traditional and complex ways to change the look and feel of a site, such as custom styles and master pages. In this course you will learn how to do each of these options except for custom master pages. You will learn to apply each of these via the browser and SharePoint Designer where applicable, and also how to apply them with features using Visual Studio.
