Architecture WordPress Architecture The website was mainly characterized by rich user interface and required a easy and professional look that entailed the use of PHP and MySQL Server basedWordPress as the CMS.
WordPress Installations generally come with one default theme. This theme is a combination of template files, style sheet files, java scripts files, image files and some other functional files that work together to create the design and functionality of a WordPress Site. Template files in WordPress are used to generate web pages and these are the files that enable customization. This means that the more the template files, the more customization you can do. Some template files can be used on all the web pages – for example – header and footer. Some template files can be used conditionally. WordPress is programmed to decide which files need to be loaded and when, generally with the help of template hierarchy rules. Some examples of template files are Header.php, Index.php, Home.php, Front-page.php, Page.php, Single.php, Category.php, author.php, search.php, 404.php, footer.php, comments.php, style.php, sidebar.php and functions.php
