title: Creating a custom theme in Prestashop 1.7 (with Starter theme?)
body: <p>We're approaching to build a custom theme, from scratch, for Prestashop (v1.7) for the first time (while we come from advanced experience in Wordpress custom themes, like using Sage 9).</p>
  
  <p>So we are studying what starter theme using as foundation. We need SCSS, JS ES6, Webpack.</p>
  
  <p>The docs is really unclear: <a href="https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/themes/getting-started/starter-theme/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> it says about <a href="https://github.com/PrestaShop/StarterTheme" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this Starter Theme</a> but at the same time the danger alert at the top page warns that "<em>This project is not maintained anymore by the core team.</em>"
  Indeed on the repo GitHub says "<em>This project is not maintained anymore by the core team. Theme improvements must be brought instead to the classic theme in the PrestaShop repository</em>".</p>
  
  <p>Someone points to <a href="https://github.com/PrestaShop/classic-rocket" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this other theme</a>.</p>
  
  <p>So, what should we do, use Starter theme (not maintained) or Classic theme (that it's not a starter theme)? Really confusing.</p>
