Artisteer, a premium Joomla WYSIWYG editor allows anyone whether you know exactly what you want, or a just an “I’ll know it when I see it” kind of feeling the ability to create a professional Joomla Template in the time it takes to make dinner!

Joomla is an amazing open source content management system that is extremely easy to use and will only get better.  Why?  because developers around the globe are working to make it better!

But you already knew that or you wouldn’t be here right now looking for  Custom Joomla Template. Right?

What I noticed after spending hours of looking at Joomla Designs, was that I found a lot of designs that were close but none that exactly fit the bill.  I knew what I wanted but what I needed was a Joomla WYSIWYG Editor.

Well I finally found it!  Artisteer is, hands down, the easiest way to create a custom Joomla template I have ever seen.  It allows you to work at a level that you are comfortable with.  New to design? Artisteer will suggest everything from a complete Jooomla template to individual menus, headers, and layouts.  If you are more into the design aspect you can modify gradients, glares, shadows, transparencies, or upload your own graphics.  Artisteer will create a file with everything you need to export to your host when your done.  I installed mine in a matter of seconds.

Take a look at this picture, It shows a custom Joomla template that I put together in a matter of moments, as well as their User Interface.

As someone who designs almost completely with WordPress, I have naturally found that the greatest part of my developing a Custom WordPress Theme resides in modifying the CSS in WordPress Themes to get the design I am looking for.  I am by no means an expert but I do know what works and what doesn’t!

After my 7th theme I have noticed that I am never quite satisfied with how they look when they are done.  You can almost always see that they have been messed with.  But after 6 or 7 hours of  “Modify CSS, Save, Refresh,” one can get kind of loopy.  I need a WordPress WYSIWYG or WordPress Theme Editor!

My brother, a web guru, found this WordPress Theme Editor that has taken 4-5 hours of time off my standard WordPress Theme conversion rate.  Artisteer,  #1 Automated Web Design Software for Blogs, CMS and Portals. Generate templates for WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. You might be thinking that A WordPress Editor or WordPress WYSIWYG may be beneath you or even above your head, but you have to trust me, no matter what level of user you are, brand new or old hat, you can use Artisteer. It has a very simple design Interface as you can see here.

WordPress Theme Editor

As you can see my current WordPress Theme was developed with Artisteer.  The approximate design time using this WordPress WYSIWYG was 2 hours.  Keep in mind that I have only been using the program for 4 days!

If customization isn’t your bag, don’t worry,  Artisteer has the ability to suggest everything from a complete theme, to headers, to font schemes.  Once you get into it, it’s actually quite fun!

You can use their graphics or your own as I have here.  It’s entirely up to you.
