When it comes to designing a new SharePoint site, we get a default theme that essentially does not represent the style or branding of your company.

To address this issue, SharePoint 2013 introduces a new theme model. This model gives you the ability to use standard web design technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript to build master pages and other site assets as well as the ability to use the components that the SharePoint Publishing site offers.
