Artisteer Template Designer

Review – Artisteer Web Template Designer

Artisteer - CMS Template GeneratorI’m currently reviewing and evaluating a really neat program for designing and modifying CMS templates.  I do have some pretty steep requirements for what such a thing might be able to do, but as advertised, it should generate templates https://experience.tripster.ru/experience/Mineralnye_Vody/sights/ for the most popular content management systems, including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and DotNetNuke.  So…..  what does it really need to do rather than just generating cookie-cutter sites, to be useful as a design tool?

Here’s what I want to know:

  • Can I use my own images and theme elements in a design to get something that’s actually original?
  • Can I move things around and adjust sizes and widths as I wish to get what my customer wants?
  • Does it support any type of active navigation with slick pulldowns?
  • Can I customize the navigation with javascript?

We will see!  Stay tuned… And if you want to try it out for yourself and let me know, please feel free!
