Create custom style from your current style changes. If you have tweaked a style to do things like extend the margins, change colors, fonts, etc., I will move these changes into a custom style, which will inherit from the base version of the style you used. This saves money in the long run because you don’t need to reapply your changes to styles with updates to phpBB or the primary style. | $35 | $70 |
