Theming is the process of turning a Photoshop design and a Drupal back-end into a fully functioning web page. The first step involves structuring HTML through Drupal's views, blocks, and panels modules into valid HTML that can then be styled. Next, CSS - in our case, Sass and Compass - is written to transform the very basic looking HTML page into a fully responsive web page, matching the design perfectly. JavaScript is written to add interactivity, such as sliding and filtering results without the page having to reload. Theming usually includes extensive QA (quality assurance) so that the end result is compatible with any modern device that can view a web page.
