How to Create Your Own Custom WordPress Themes

(Even if you know nothing about CSS or HTML)

Artisteer Review

This template generator creates WordPress themes as well as Joomla, Drupal, DotNetNuke and Blogger templates. It even creates static HTML pages.

Artisteer is a time saver. It will provide a quick design foundation on which to build your sites.

Artisteer‘s interface is well-designed and easy to use. The customization options are practically endless. Some examples:

Don’t know what kind of design you want? Press the “suggest” button and Artisteer will show you one. Keep it or try suggesting another, or revert to the previous one. Or perhaps you can’t decide on a good color scheme. Just one click and Artisteer will suggest some colors. Or you can make up your own color schemes and use them again in another template.

Artisteer comes with many graphics you can use for your header images, or if you want to use your own graphics, you can insert those instead. Add your own photo in the header or choose from Artisteer’s backgrounds, which include photos and textures that you can easily combine to create a myriad of effects. All without opening up your photo editing software.

Like any decent software, updates are frequent and the functionality just keeps getting better. The developers listen to suggestions and they add features that people request.

While software apps like Artisteer will never replace professional web designers, they are extremely useful for budget-conscious webmasters, cyberpreneurs and bloggers that want to build their own websites.

A full-version free trial is available for evaluation purposes, which allows you to create and install a watermarked version of your theme. Download it here.
