WordPress Customizer is a feature in the WordPress admin (go to Appearance > Customize) that allows users to tweak theme settings using a WYSIWYG interface and customize a theme’s colors, fonts, text, and pretty much anything else you want to change. It allows you to live preview changes you make to your theme. You can play around all you like without modifying your live site.
The options available in the Customizer vary from theme to theme. This demo utilizes Customizr theme to give you a better insight into the possibilities.
