It's important to highlight that theming a Django/Mezzanine site is straightforward and does not require any special skill beyond modifying templates and styles BUT if you need to change the basic Mezzanine CMS functionality you must dive into Django.

A designer themed my own site http://www.nektra.com just customizing my Bootstrap styles and giving me templates of the main and inner pages.

I totally agree, beyond needing to understand the basics of the Django template language nothing else is required to create a Mezzanine theme.

In the blog posts this discussion is about, I did go into some detail about creating custom content types but none of that is necessary to theme vanilla Mezzanine.

edit: grammar
