Hi Julie

Thank you!

If you’re dong 2-3 website templates, then I’d recommend going for the cheaper version. It has around 66% of the design ideas compared to the pro version, but its $80 cheaper!

Adding bits yourself is pretty simple. I recommend learning some basic CSS/HTML. There are plenty of tutorials, but you’ll find that you’ll get quite far with customising then.

Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan

I used your link also, so I hope once I decide which one to use and purchase the commission will come your way too!

Your advise has been very helpful

Also Dan, which version would you recommend for me? I want to build my own blogger site and possibly do for others, but not on a huge scale. MAybe just to make the software pay for itself.

I also want to be able to add a few bits once the main design is done. Is this relatively easy?
Thanks again for all your advice
Regards
Julie

Cheers Dan, having seen your article and tried out the trial I was significantly impressed!

I used your link so hopefully the commission will be coming your way!

Hi Lissie

I’m a web developer, so I know my way around code. I essentially copied the block of code used to surround a post, and then added my own content to it.

In answer to the comment above – their latest version now supports blogger blogs as well.

Question Dan – how do you add the streamlined thinking box at the end of the post ? Have you just hacked the single .php file – I know you can’t do it native inside Artisteer

Artisteer really do listen to their users. The mac version of Artisteer has recently been released, which was essentially a feature request. So the blogger feature will arrive in the near future!

Hi John
I tried Artiseer yesterday and was wowed by the simplicity of the program and what I could achieve. I designed a new website in a couple of hours – tweeking and messing about with colours and looks.

My only problem was I wanted to use it for my blogger site and currently they do not support this.
I emailed and they responded very quickly to say that they are working on it currently, but have problems with the images side of things.
I can’t wait for them to release this !
I have been wanting to customise my own site for a long time but just don’t really want to get into the ‘learning codes’ – too old now ! Ha ! So this is perfect for me !

I will just have to sit tight and be patient (not a thing a woman can do easily!)
Thanks for your great write up that inspired me to look at Artiseer !
