In this post I talk about custom Power BI themes and share some handy tips for styling Power BI reports.

In 2016, endjin redesigned the Benchpeg website, migrating it from a 10-year-old platform over to our own CMS system - Vellum – so the Benchpeg team could have greater control over their content management and halve the day-to-day workload for generating content.
