Create Unique And Custom Designed Website Templates With A Click Of A Button
Please answer the following questions:
- Do you have a website using Joomla, Drupal, WordPress, Blogger, DotNetNuke, ASP.Net, or HTML?
- Do you want a unique custom design template for your website but don’t know how to code or have no skills in graphic design?
If you answered yes to both of the above questions, you want to look at Artisteer.
What is Artisteer?
Artisteer is an excellent tool to make professional looking website templates in Joomla, Blogger, WordPress and Drupal without having to write a single line of code. You do not even have to be a good graphic designer as Artisteer can automatically generate unique theme designs that you can further customise if you want.
So say goodbye to learning HTML, CSS, PHP, Photoshop and say hello to Artisteer.
How Easy It Is To Create A Theme
Just watch the below video on how easy it is to create a WordPress template. The video only goes for 5 minutes and that is the time it took me to create a unique custom designed WordPress template. Artisteer is truly a great piece of software.
It is not shown in the video, but you can also export a WordPress design to a Joomla template. There are many websites that use both Joomla and WordPress as part of their site, so Artisteer makes it easy for those sites to have a consistent theme across Joomla and WordPress.
The Downside
The only downside is that the software is not free. It costs $49.95 to export WordPress and Blogger Themes, or $129.95 for the standard edition which allows exports to WordPress, Blogger, Joomla 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, Drupal 5/6/7, DotNetNuke 4.9, ASP.Net Applications and CodeCharge. Artisteer offers a free trial version, which allows you to export templates with the word trial on all images, and it also does not let you save your themes to edit them later.
However, when you actually think of the costs to buy a unique custom design template, it will be more than $129.95, and Artisteer allows you to create unlimited amounts of templates, so it is a necessary tool for those in the industry.
The Upside
You can use the templates you create however you like (with a small limitation on certain images). You can resell them or redescribe them as well, so if you will find yourself making many websites for yourself, friends, or family.
Download My Theme
If you would like to download and use the theme I created in this video, you can download the template files here. The Zip-File contains the templates for ASP.Net, Blogger, CodeCharge, DotNetNuke6, Drupal 7, HTML, Joomla, and WordPress.

Hello,
We plan to offer a new web site creation based on Drupal7 and Artisteer in a low cost approach.
The Artisteer gallery is okay but for some type of companies, there are very few templates… some of then relying on 2-3 pictures: removing those pictures, the theme is almost naked!
We are looking for an outsourcing solution that will allow us to contract 10 or 20 (or more) new background images for example that will allow us to mix and match the existing theme with more backgrounds. These background could be generic or specific to the Health environment, the Food, transportation, etc.
Do you offer this kind of service or do you know a Freelance artist that could produce background/banners for this purpose?
Thank you.

Hi MAP,
I can build themes for your based on Artisteer’s limitations if you wish.
I am not aware of any freelance artists that can produce Background/banners, but you might want to contact the team from MakeUseOf if some of the writers are interested.

With Artisteer, yes, you can create WordPress themees.
Nice program for build template, Now have build template for old project on Joomla with new version 2.5. I’m interested this one to create unique template
Yeah, it’s good software. You can build templates for the latest versions of Joomla
I really found it easier to create a theme using Artisteer. It is a great simple tool. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, Artisteer makes creating themes a breeze.
Artisteer differentiates itself from typical HTML editors and Web design products by incorporating high degree of automation and creating Web templates rather than individual HTML pages. For example, a user can create Website design with the “Suggest Design” button, which randomly generates usually a professional looking Web design and displays the design preview. The user can then adjust the design using variety of options, and export the design as either a Web template in XHTML and CSS format, or a set of theme files for the WordPress open source blog publishing application.
Thanks

Yeah, even if you make a HTML website using Artisteer, you can even write the content and the page structure.
Very good article to read! this goes to say that creating custom design for template for you site is just easy! 😉
Hi JJ,
I am glade you enjoyed the article. Yes, Artisteer, does make creating a custom designed template for your website really easy.
Is there a way to design without a template and bring in own art work?
I have a website designed but don’t know htmal well. I have an old version of Dream Weaver.
I would like to do my own layout with specific links, hotspots, buttons visuals.
None of the templates work for me. I also didn’t like Word Presses limitations.

It’s best you find a web developer, provide them with your design and they will be able to turn it into HTML, or a CMS theme for you.
how to create e commerce with paymodul in artisteer
Hello Kent,
Artisteer only designs the look and feel of the site. It would be best to use a CMS system such as WordPress to create the eCommerce site with PayPal integration.
I am running a special deal about it, where I can help set it up for you for only $79, but you will have to do all the configuring of the site from the instructions I provide. Alternatively, I can build it all for $300.
