Artisteer Website Template Generator Review

Artisteer is basically web design automation software that instantly creates fantastic looking, unique website templates and blog themes. It can help you creating joomla templates, drupal themes and wordpress themes – all in minutes, without Photoshop or Dreamweaver, and no technical skills.

Upon visiting the homepage of artisteer, you will be able to download the installation file. One drawback is that the software only works in Windows. The software comes in a trial version so you can test it out yourself. You can get Artisteer  here.

The installation should be pretty quick, and after that you can get started and are welcomed with this screen:

Artisteer has a pretty intuitive menu and features outline that makes it easy to understand, even for a novice like me. To proceed the process you should choose what type of theme you wish to build – wordpress theme, drupal theme or joomla theme.

Once you select a CMS system that you need the theme for the Artister software compiles a randomly generated theme for you to get you started. From this point it is easy to make minor changes to fit your taste and if needed you can completely change the output as you get more comfortable using the software.

You can find a complete guide in using this software by downloading the user manual here.

Pros and Cons

Plusses:

  • Easy installation
  • Menus are intuitive
  • Good overall design control in the standard edition
  • Very quickly can generate a nice looking template
  • Fully functional demo available to test drive

Minuses:

  • Does not support laying out custom modules / positions for the CMS’s it can generate templates for
  • Home edition is more limited in granular control than standard edition
  • Does not support variable width templates

Conclusion

Especially if you hit a creative block and are at a loss for new concepts, Artisteer is a useful tool to help you come up with fresh designs and implementing them. It isn’t to master if you’re a relative novice, and will help you expand your horizons if you have working HTML knowledge. It doesn’t matter where you’re at, as advantages are apparent to anyone who wants to try out the program.

    If you don’t want to buy Artisteer, but you made a theme in the program and you want it published, then this is your chance! It costs $5 per theme conversion. Please send the theme to support@themesfor5.com and once I see that the $5 has been paid, I will convert the Artisteer project file into a Drupal, Joomla, HTML, or Wordpress theme(Please say in your email!). Please use the same email when paying for the theme and sending the template, so I know its the same person. What you get: A zip file containing the theme without the trial watermark. Thank You!
