Hello, and welcome to Custom WordPress Themes. If you’re new to using WordPress, congratulations on finding one of the easiest to use, most powerful programs on the Internet. Whether you’re going to be using WordPress for marketing purposes, or maybe just setting up a single blog related to a hobby, WordPress will due the job nicely to be sure. Although you can get thousands of free plugins to alter the capabilities of WordPress, custom designed themes will cost you.

There’s an old saying that goes, “you only get one chance to make a good first impression.” Custom WordPress themes will help you to make those first impressions a pleasant experience for your website visitors. Believe me when I say, if any visitors are immediately turned-off by the look of your site, chances are they’re gonna bail on you quickly, obviously limiting the amount of eyes that will actually ever see your content. .

I should point out that if you only plan on having a single site, it may be worthwhile to pay to have a custom WordPress theme designed for you. Of course, just one custom WordPress theme will almost certaintly cost more than a copy of Artisteer. If you have multiple WordPress sites and want several custom WordPress themes, Artisteer is definitely the way to go. Artisteer will cost you, but it’s also very reasonably priced, and money very well spent. For less that $50 you can have an endless number of custom WordPress themes. There’s also a higher priced version that offers theme/template generation for Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress, as well as skins for DotNetNuke, Blogger templates, and of course you can export in HTML.

Although some people enjoy diving in and learning how to manipulate the CSS and XHTML on their sites, the truth is, it’s time consuming for everyone, and even confusing for most. Of course it can be as easy as a few mouse button clicks with Artisteer.

One thing that really adds to productivity when using Artisteer, is the “Suggest” feature. Whether you want it to suggest a complete design, just a color change, or maybe a different menu or sidebar layout, Artisteer can do a quick change instantly for you to evaluate. This program is both powerful and extremely easy to use, with practically no learning curve. There’s no way to determine everyone’s taste, but it’s probably safe to say that many people will be able to use the suggest function of Artisteer to generate their themes, without ever even fooling around with changing specific items singularly.

Artisteer is available as a demo download, so you get a chance to fully evaluate the program before you buy. I can’t believe that most people won’t be very impressed with this amazing tool. Just remember, it’s for generating attractive, very stable themes/templates/skins, it’s not for changing the php, core-level functionality of WordPress. That’s where finding the right plugin(s) comes in.

A big two thumbs up for Artisteer.
