<p>The Style Switcher plugin allows developers to offer clients a set of options for quickly swapping out and viewing different style options, from the front-end WordPress UI. Clients don\’t need to know anything about css or even WordPress admin options.</p>
<p>For example, if you would like to test a few different color options for headers, the plugin will allow you to set appropriate options, and the client can toggle between them, seeing changes live on the page.</p>


Style Switcher

Let clients test simple style changes on the front end, to help make final decisions.
