Register widget areas for sidebars, footers, and homepage modules.

Enable post thumbnails and display featured images in templates.

Provide theme options carefully — prefer Customizer/theme.json over heavy options frameworks when possible.

Register theme locations and output menus with wp_nav_menu.

Create selectable page templates for unique layouts like landing pages.

Extend a parent theme safely with a child theme so updates do not wipe customizations.

Add live-preview settings with the Theme Customization API (Customizer).

Use the Customizer for theme identity settings: logo, menus, homepage, and colors.
