Developer Guide

With NextProof, anyone can create a custom theme or modify one of our existing themes.

Editing a theme can be as basic as changing some graphic elements and styles—or as advanced as rearranging the HTML structure of the gallery pages.

For photographers

Even without any design experience, most photographers can update the graphical elements of a theme and upload changes to their NextProof account.

For a brief overview of how custom themes work and instructions on making basic changes, visit our custom theme guide.

For designers/developers

NextProof is a Ruby on Rails web application that uses the liquid templating language to render it's custom themes.

While experience with liquid helps, most designers/developers with CSS and HTML experience should be able to modify NextProof theme successfully.
