Anyway. I want to talk about something else in this article. My "Joomla template creator" article had received a lot of attention in the past month. And if you are a web designer, the tool that I am going to write about is perfect for you. Not only it makes templates for Joomla, but also for WordPress, Drupal and even XHTML websites. No special design sckills needed. I have tested this software and it simply amazing. You can generate professional templates for WordPress and Joomla with just a few mouse clicks. After that you can play with the design to make it more appealing. Unlike the last software I have written about on this topic, this one has NO strings attached. You just download it, install it and run it. It even has "Design Suggestions" that generates an almost unique design. If you like it, you can then make small changes to it and export it for what-ever platform you want. The templates are widget ready, compatible with the latest versions of WordPress and Joomla. It can create templates with one, two or three columns in just a few seconds. A professional template can be finished in just a few minutes. But here is the best part. The templates can e then sold or distributed with no restrictions. And considering that the Home version of the software is under 50$, I really think this is the best investment you can make. For more information don’t hesitate to visit #1 Automated Web Design Software for Blogs, CMS and Portals. Generate templates for WordPress, Joomla and Drupal.

Do you want to make your own unique Joomla template but don’t have the skills do learn how to code on or don’t have time to learn? Well, this just got a lot simple. Joomlashack.com just released the new template creator. The template creator is free to use, but there also is a catch.

Like I said, the template builder is free to use. You can find it at Joomlatemplatebuilder.com and doesn’t even need a download. Everything is right from the browser. You will get a professional to that lets you choose colors, parameters, width of the template an much more. You will also get a live preview of what you are doing at any time. Sound cool no?

Well there is a catch. The tools is free to use and you will get a coda that you must copy somewhere in the template for the changes to take place. The problem is: in what template? This tools works with MyTemplate, a commercial template from Joomlashack.com that costs 39.99$. So even if you get the code you must paste it in that specific template if you want it to work.

MyTemplate is just like a back-end for all the templates created with this tool. Actually you only change some parameters in the template, you don’t write it from scratch (actually the tools doesn’t write it). So yes, the tools is free, but you must purchase the template for it to work. If you know other good template builders let us know:)
