I have to say I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!  Web Design Generator – Artisteer has made me so happy with my blogs!  I can’t say enough good stuff about this program!If you’ve read this blog, or any of my others, for very long, then you’ll have noticed some changes in them since October of last year.  For my birthday, my wonderful boyfriend bought me the Standard Edition of  Artisteer.  It’s not cheap, but it doesn’t have to break the bank either.  Believe me though, it is WELL worth the price!

What It Does:

Artisteer is a WYSIWYG website template generator.  It generates themes or templates for Joomla, WordPress, Drupal, Dot Net Nuke, Html and now in a recent upgrade they’ve also added Blogger to the list!

Cost:

The Home or Academic version it is $49.95

The Standard Edition is $129.95

Plus you also get free upgrades for a year!

However, there is a free trial for 30 days. (limitations are a few functions and a watermark on entire screen of template)

Differences Between Versions:

The Home edition is limited to creating themes for only WordPress, Blogger & HTML.  So if you’re only interested in making blog templates for these two programs, then the Home Edition is perfect for you.

My Opinion:

As I stated above, I love this program.  It’s allowed me to create many different themes for my blogs that are all wordpress powered, and some of my other websites that are Joomla powered.  My boyfriend even used it to create an HTML site (Vegas Poker Tournaments).  This site, Simple WAHM, was created with  Artisteer.  So were my other sites, Wyndsong Writes & Best Homeschool Place.  I will be transitioning my Books 4 Moms website to a new Artisteer template soon.

Artisteeris really easy to use, creates clean templates & themes, and makes creating professional looking websites a breeze.  I would recommend this product to anyone who owns a blog or website or wants to create themes for others!  It’s worth the small amount of money they ask for it.
