The Aberration Lite theme is built with the mindset of keeping the design clean and simple while giving an elegant visual style that is pleasing for any site visitor. This theme offers some unique concepts that will be talked about throughout the setup tutorials.
Logo Notes Please be aware that the logo site title box is an unusual design and is not quite as flexible as having it above the fold like many other themes have it. This design concept is actually very difficult to implement to account for the various types and sizes of logos that someone may use. I will go more into this with the Logo tutorial later on.
