Building a custom theme

[[email protected]]

OK, so I want to build a custom theme because I simply can't find one that I am happy with.

I am fairly new to web designs but keen to learn and I learn best by doing.

I like full width hero images that includes a key message on the left and a signup box on the right.

Below that I will have links to various pages and a short (latest 2) blog post snippets.

Say I wanted to create a landing page that looked like the studiopress.com page, how would I do this with a genesis them? I have read through the documentation but can't find any hooks or structural elements that add a large feature hero unit...

How do I add custom divs to the page markup so that I can style individual elements in the style.css ?

Apologies if this is a beginner question, but I am keen to learn!

Is anyone able to offer some advice?

I would start with the Genesis 2.0 Sample child theme.

Then you can ask one question at a time here which should get answered quickly.

Did you see the new Lifestyle theme that was released this week?
