A Theme Generator for WordPress Developers

The life of developers could get easier if they would be having some sort of tool that would generate bug free code automatically and also gives loads of flexibility to write the custom lines of code. Fortunately, such a tool is not an imagination only, it is present around us with the name, TemplateToaster.



The TemplateToaster is known as an automated theme maker for WordPress, but there is another good side of this software is its flexibility of making themes by letting a professional developer write code. That is why, TemplateToaster is very much for the developers.

Why should a developer get TemplateToaster?

  •  Saves Time and enhances productivity
  •  Developers can do the designs without the help of designers.
  •  Advanced code editors for CSS and JavaScript
  •  Meant according to WordPress guidelines
Saves time and enhances productivity for developers

TemplateToaster produces code automatically. The code, produced by it complies with the WordPress coding guidelines as well as W3C standards. Thus, there is no need to worry about the quality of the code. For the automatic production of code, it will save time, thereby productivity will increase for the developers.

Do designing without designer’s assistance

The developers go to the designers to fulfill the aesthetics of projects. In other words, a developer has to wait till the layout and design of the website get ready, and indirectly, the developer becomes dependent on a designer. TemplateToaster helps developers to bring out their creativity by taking the form of a designing tool. Using the TemplateToaster, a developer can itself do the designing as well.

If you feel like you can put more than aesthetics into your themes by writing code being a developer, then you can use the CSS and JavaScript editors of TemplateToaster.

Separate editors with syntax highlighting

TemplateToaster provides lightweight CSS and JavaScript editors for the coders. These editors have the “code hinting/code completion” feature due to which writing code becomes faster and easier.

Qualities of TemplateToaster’s editors:
  • Simple in looks and light weight 
  • Provide a distraction free environment 
  • Code-hinting feature
  • Syntax highlighting  
  • Code folding
  • Line numbers
HTML5/CSS3 used for mark up and styling

TemplateToaster follows the most recent standards of the W3C that is HTML5 and CSS3. This feature of TemplateToaster ensures to the developers that their development will go standards. So, with the better markup and styles, TemplateToaster is the right choice in contrast to the other theme generators that are meant for the non-IT people.

BOOTSTRAP3 support for themes

Besides HTML5, TemplateToaster uses the BOOTSTRAP3 in producing themes. This is yet another latest technology sought after in the web templates, and all the WordPress developers out there will also like this feature. A developer better knows the importance of this feature in making web templates. HTML5 is directly responsible for the responsiveness in websites.

Follows the WordPress Coding Guidelines

WordPress has defined PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript Standards for the programmers so that consistency in development will be there always. TemplateToaster completely complies with those guidelines. There comes a plugin, namely “Theme Check”, which tests if a theme follows the rules or not. You can use that plugin to be assured about TemplateToaster’s compliance with WordPress guidelines.



In the end

TemplateToaster seems one of its kind software that is so useful for the developers. It is such a theme generator that is meant for making developers’ life easier. It produces some code automatically, rest of the coding you can do with editors, moreover, you can edit the files. In every way, it provides greater flexibility for the coders.

What are your thoughts about automated WordPress Theme Design software?

I have observed the increasing demand of WYSIWYG types of customization plugins during some time. There is also an increase in the number of such kind of software, which allows making WordPress themes without the hassle of writing PHP code. In fact, I also do such a software because I am a designer and don’t like to write code. TemplateToaster lets me focus on my creativity of web designing and template designing that is why I use this software for myself.

In other words, it makes me feel in the programmer’s seat, so I use it. Moreover, it provides me enough options for designing options at one place, which are usually not provided a design tool. Though, I use it and very much satisfied with it, I want to know about what all the WordPress designers out there think about such software.

  Do you also use such a software?
I don’t know whether how many of designers use such tools, but if you are the one who do, then you must have recommendation and review for that software also. Let me know the name of the software you use in the comment area. I will be able to know about more software if you will let me know.

Do you feel they are good for designers?
You can better answer this question if you have experienced an automated WordPress theme designer. Because, I myself use the TemplateToaster, so I find that it is good for the designers. Actually, the software does make many things easy, the biggest advantage is of automatic generation of theme files, and we get a lot of options on clicks. Otherwise, I have to use different tools for different purposes.


Can we rely fully on theme generators?
Being a designer, can you fully rely on an automated tool? It is a good way to deliver a complete solution the clients because of two advantages- one is the saving of time and another is the despite of being not a coder I can deliver my clients a complete website ready.




The software I use also provides the code editors to let the external JavaScript and CSS embed in the source code of the templates. Because, I know these two code languages very well, I am able to deliver even advanced styles on clients’ demand. As per me, I can absolutely rely on this software. But, I want to know the opinion of all the designers out there. Do share your opinion with me.

How Can I Make My Website on My Own?

Website making is not a very difficult task in recent times. If you keep the desire to create a website for yourself, by yourself, then go ahead and do with website development. I am not going to give you code snippets or instruction for writing programming code, I will suggest you to use an automated web design tool.

This a good way for the non- IT people, because they don’t understand the syntax and semantics of programming, and a website development tool will let them create a website without writing code. If you don’t know about coding, even then, you would be making a website.

 I am going to let you know about making a static HTML5 and CSS3 website in this post.

Step one- Make a design for your website

You must have a design idea in your mind because you have decided yourself to make a website for you. If you have a good idea about designing, then, it is good and you can move further, otherwise, you should spend enough of time pondering over the look and feel of your website. You can have a glance at this showcase for designing inspiration, if you have no clear idea about how your website should look.



Step two- Decide on your website’s domain name and register that


Then, you will have to buy a domain that will be the address of your website on the World Wide Web. For example, “www.myfirstwebsite.com” is a domain name. It will used to identify your website on the Web, decide on domain name wisely because it will build a brand name for you. A simple and easy to remember domain name should be yours. There are several domain name providers in the market, you should compare their plans to pick the one for you. Of curse, you will pick the affordable one for you.


Step three- Get a hosting plan along with the domain

Usually, domain registering companies do offer their hosting plans along with the domain registration. When you will consult a company for registering your domain, at the same place, you can buy the hosting from them. But, it doesn’t mean that you will have to buy the hosting plan from the same company. You can register your domain and buy hosting plan from different companies. Like, you buy domain from Google (for the US people only), and can buy hosting from GoDaddy.

Step four- Now comes making your website actually


After buying the domain and hosting, and having your web design ready, you will now have to create your website according to your design. I have already told you that using an automated web design tool is a good idea if you want your website to be built in a day, and without knowing PHP, HTML and CSS. I will suggest you only one tool, because this one I have used myself and been using it for my new web projects. I use TemplateToaster.

You will also like having this to use it for once. It is very easy to use, you can make your website from scratch. The reason being recommended this tool is that it generates clean code that any developer can easily understand the code. The rest of the website builders I know about, such as Wix, Weebly, webflow, offer inbuilt templates, which can be customized a little.

Have an overview of this tool from this video.


Step five- Publish your website


Now, comes the step to upload your website on the server. With inbuilt FTP (File Transfer Protocol), you can quickly get published your website through the builder itself. Following screen is shown to the user while uploading its website on the host server (I have taken the screenshot of TemplateToaster). The credential to fill in the required fields will be given to you by the hosting provider. Then, connect to the server, and copy the website’s folder to the FTP server folder. And finally, your website will be on the World Wide Web.




In the end

This is how you can make your website on your own. I will try to show you the process with the TemplateToaster. I would say that you must take a stab at making a website on our own. If you already have taken a stab, then do share your experience with me right below in the comment box.

One Tool That You Must Have In Your Toolbox Being A Designer

The web designers always keep a fat tool box for doing their job efficiently. They use different type of tools for designing, I will share a tool that is of great values to the designers.



TemplateToaster is a theme generator software based on .NET, innovated for designing themes without doing manual coding. Runs on Windows operating system, it generates themes for the websites those are based on popular Content Management Systems, namely WordPress, Drupal, Magento, Prestashop and Joomla.

It is a fortified software having enormous features for themes designing. It was first introduced on March 20, 2012. TemplateToaster has been widely used by professionals. But those are not adequate in website development can also comfortably work with it.

Overview


TemplateToaster generates the themes automatically hiding the source code from the user. User needs not to type the code for incorporating any change in the theme using this software. Modifications to the theme have been done by selecting options from the respective menu, making its use for a novice designer easier. However, it has been primarily developed keeping in mind the facility to professionals. Its usability makes it stands out of the other web development tool.
 
Features

No Hassle of Coding: 

This software frees the user from writing code manually. The user just needs to have an idea in its mind about the look and feel of the template going to be designed. Extensive designing options are given, such that user can design each and every element of the design. And, without the knowledge of the user, code is automatically produced. The user doesn’t have to touch the code.

W3C compliant code:


The source code produced by TemplateToaster complies with the World Wide Web consortium (w3c). You will see the markup and style sheets made according to HTML5 and CSS3. Owing to this compliance, TemplateToaster generated templates can better render on every type of screen (all portable devices and desktops).

Bootstrap3 support:

TemplateToaster generates bootstrap quality code for having bootstrap3 support. It provides interactive bootstrap design elements for template designing. Such type of controls are heavily useful for designing eCommerce web templates.

Browser Compatibility:

This software generates such themes which works equally well on all browsers. This interoperability comes from the clinging to standards of HTML coding in combination with CSS.

Error Free Installation of templates on CMSs


The conformity with the set standard of coding makes sure that after exporting the theme on the local system while installing on respective CMS no error will come out before the user.

Graphic elements are provided in “Ribbon” style


The graphic elements featured by the software mainly include a vast number of options. You can know in detail about the options by using its trial version. I could just say that it is not a basic type design tool with basic options, it is really an awesome tool for the web designers and template designers.

System Requirements

TemplateToaster runs on windows platform. Any of the following windows version is required.
•    Windows XP (SP3), Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and .Net Framework 4.

Language Availableness

In the end

I feel like it is such a web design tool that every designer must have, because it makes their job easier and will work as a development partner. If you are a web designer, it will encode your beautiful designs, which you have to hand over to a front to bring them functionality, and you will be in the programmer’s seat without learning PHP.

Best WordPress Theme Designer

I found TemplateToaster While browsing internet in search of WordPress theme design software. I get to know a couple of frameworks as well, which are technically different from theme generators. The TemplateToaster is actually a theme generator.

Difference between TemplateToaster and frameworks
The frameworks allow to modify their design in order to get the preferred look for the user’s website. That derived look is called the child theme. Whereas, TemplateToaster being a theme generator lets make a theme from scratch, that is user can design a complete new look by itself without the assistance of professional developers.
  Why do I find it the best?
I have several reasons to call the TemplateToaster the best software. It is the best because
•    It supports Bootstrap 3 for designing.
•    It provides extensive designing options.
•    I can Bookmark particular parts of the theme to import that same style to my new themes to be made.
•    I can download it on my personal computer and my designs stay private.
•    I am fully assured that it follows HTML5 and CSS3.
•    Because of bootstrap3 support and HTML5, it creates absolute responsive themes for me.
•    It also provides me the option to take the backup of my themes.


For whom it is advantageous?
If I can divide people in three types- Individuals, designer and developers, then TemplateToaster can serve these three classes in different ways.

Individuals- Some people take the DIY way to make themes by reading online tutorials. This software will be utmost helpful to them.

Designers- Generally, designers don’t know about the PHP programming language which is required to make WordPress themes. This software acts as a front end coder, hence designers can create fully functional themes without the help of developers’ assistance.

Developers- TemplateToaster saves developers’ time as they don’t have to write code for the basic theme structure, they will only have to write code for additional functionality. TemplateToaster provides inbuilt code editors for this purpose.

In the end

I would suggest everyone out there to use this software for making WordPress themes. I have given you all mine reasons to like this software. Share your views right below in the comment section about this software if you have used it. If you have not used it yet, then give it a try, you will also like it.

Web Design Software- What is it and which is the best candidate?

If you get a sudden thought in your mind that you want to create a website for yourself, and then, you get a second thought that you don’t know anything about website development, then, what will you do? Will you drop your plan, or will get ready for learning the web technologies? Probably, you will drop your plan if you are really not that serious for executing your plan.

But, once you will know about the modern automated web design tools, I am sure that you will get ready for making your website with your hands, without any knowledge of web programming.

What is a web design tool and how is it beneficial for you?

Web design software is a tool that allows creation of web templates and static websites without writing code. So, you don’t have to worry about your ignorance about web programming. Such software lets you make the websites without the hassle of writing syntax and semantics.


Kinds of web design tools
Basically, we call any tool as web design that helps us in making websites, but actually, web design tools are segregated into two types-

Website builders: Website builders are such kind of tools that allows making full fledged websites without touching a single bit of code.

Template generators: On the other side, the template generators allow to create templates for the website to be developed with the help of content management systems. A template generator sometimes called a theme generator too.
So, what should I choose from these two?
Well, it is totally up to your requirements to choose a website builder, or a template generator. If we consider the trend, then, websites are being built with the help of content management systems in recent times. The content management systems, in fact, have been made with the perspective of managing big sized websites with no hassle, but not restricted to the big and professional websites. You can use a content management system for making your small personal websites too.

What are good options available?
I have tried myself some popular ones, following mentions are good candidates.

Template Generators
•    TemplateToaster- Like all in one tool, it creates themes and templates for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Blogger, Magento, and Prestashop.



•    WP Theme Generator- Only for WordPress
•    Lubith Theme Generator- Only for WordPress
•    Headway Theme builder- Only for WordPress
•   Artisteer- Makes templates for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Blogger, and DNN skins.

Website Builders
•    TemplateToaster- Creates HTML5 and CSS3 websites. It is a standalone software.
•    Godaddy- You are offered a website builder if you purchase their hosting plan.
•    Webflow- It is a good option to consider.
•    Weebly- Good to be chosen by the starters
•    Wix- It is again a good option for individuals



Suggestion and Recommendation

Although, all the web design software I have mentioned are good to consider, my favorite web design tool is the TemplateToaster. It is a two in one software, that is, it is a website builder as well as a template generator. I began working with this software a couple of months back, it has now become my best web development partner owing to the robust technical features and greater freedom to design websites and templates. I would suggest you to try this software.

How an LLC can develop its website of its own by paying less?

The Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) run on a limited budget unlike the corporate businesses. They (LLCs) take off for the big corporation with a comparatively small budget, and many liabilities to fulfill. If you own an LLC, then you might be aware about the different areas where you try to save the bucks, website development is one of those areas. Because, you own a company, no matter how small it is, a professional website is one of the basic needs to run it successfully. So, this is the point to me for writing this post.

There are three types of categories that LLC owners fall into:-

•    DIY owners who stay ready to learn new things
•    Owners who hire costly services
•    Owners who don’t care about the  quality for lesser money

The very first thing that comes in our mind is to consult the development firms for providing you the web solution. We consult many instead of one, and compare the service charges they ask for. In the end, we get caught into the trap of “reasonable compromised quality” at low cost. But, it is not the right way. I am going to let you know the secret of creating highly professional and interactive websites without paying much for it.


Right Way for DIY followers
There come variety of website builders and template generator software that are like the boon for the people who want to take a stab at making websites by themselves. See, it is not a practical solution to go for learning programming in order to make your websites on your own. It takes a lot of time as well as mind to first learn coding and then applying knowledge to make websites. On the other hand, a website builder or a template creator can do this for you within a day. In fact, less than a day. Below is the list of some trusted software of this kind.

1.    TemplateToaster
2.    Squarespace
3.    Webydo
4.    Weebly
5.    Wix

Alternative of costly development services
 I completely favor the DIY (do it yourself) way of saving some bucks on website development. Once you hire the service of a developer, it will charge you for making your website, and also for the support. Whenever, you will come into a situation of modifying your website or updating it with the new content, you will be charged again. Whereas, if you choose the TemplateToaster, the support guys will support you at every step, they listen to your problem until you successfully establish your website.

My personal choice
As far as my choice about software is concerned, I like the TemplateToaster and recommendation also goes with it. This tool is basically the choice of web professionals. But the non IT individuals also do use it with ease and enthusiasm because its benefits include:

•    Lets you build website from the scratch.
•    Ease of use is the same for professionals as well as individuals.
•    Bootstrap 3 support for website designing.
•    Creates ultra responsive websites with bootstrap support.
•    Plethora of design options.
•    A number of templates preloaded.

 

Takeaways
Making a website with little or no knowledge at all is no more an impossible task that you can’t do. With a right software tool, a LLC owner can develop a website for itself. A good software tool is all need. Well, the software, I have listed above are good to use, but the TemplateToaster is better because of all latest and robust technical features.

Wish you the best for making your own website!

Template designing software for Blogger

There are a huge number of blogs on blogger platform that project same look and feel. When you make a blog with the blogger, you see free themes offered to you for customizing your blog’s look. The same templates are offered to everyone. I have realized that many people don’t bother about the look and feel, they just bother about the content.

Besides the content of your blog, the look and feel factor also affects the readers’ concentration. Out there, might be lots of people who want to get out of the monotonous inbuilt templates of Blogger. But, they might have not aware about the options.

So, I am writing this post for them. I would say that for getting a good design, you are not bound to consulting any development company, or the template sellers. You can do it better yourself.

DIY with a Blogger Template Generator
DIY way is the choice of many bloggers, especially the enthusiasts never miss a chance to take a stab at a new thing, creating a blogger template without touching code is such a thing. Writing code is a pain (in case you are a learner not an adept), not everyone can create templates via this way. A template generator eliminates such requirement for producing programming code itself in automatic way, therefore, with generator, no coding no pain.

It Takes a Few Time, in fact, a couple of minutes
The major advantage of code generation software is that template gets developed without having to write code, yet another advantage is you get a fully functional template in very less time which otherwise takes some days, and more efforts.


Free one is not worth it
Free items invite everyone, but it’s a fact that free things never give you less benefit. So does free template generators. Premium generators provide better features, and hence recommended for whom who take it seriously. I have taken trials of two template generators for blogger platform, namely, TemplateToaster and E-INFOTAINMENT, out of which, I have found the TemplateToaster the best one to use. The latter has nothing interesting to make a sophisticated template.

The Best Options to Make Custom WordPress Themes without touching code

There are a number of options of marketplaces on the internet that are selling beautiful WordPress themes. If you want to use such a theme that has not been used by anyone before you, then you can’t rely on the available marketplaces for the reason that so many people visit there and buy the themes for themselves. It is not possible to find a single theme there that has not been bought by anyone. Plus, if you decide to make a theme exclusively available to you, then ready to pay for the giant “buyout” price.


Don’t worry, there is a good alternative of paying the buyout price, DIY (do it yourself). I will tell you the software tools that will help you in making WordPress themes by yourself, without touching code.

WordPress Theme Generators
A complete DIY way is to use a WordPress theme generator. There is an availability of several, it will be your choice only that which one you are going to use to. If you would ask mine choice, then, it is the TemplateToaster. Following is the list of the popular ones.
  1. TemplateToaster- Most Popular and powerful WordPress theme generator. It allows the user to make as many themes as possible to create. With one year license period, updates are provided for no cost up to the period. As per choice, theme can be designed from scratch or can be chosen from the bundle of samples for modification. It will be interesting for you to know about this software, if you download its trial version .
  2.  WP Theme Generator- Yet another good candidate has been the WP theme generator. You don’t need to download it, but it can be used in online mode only. You can simply visit the respective website to know the details.
Theme Frameworks
There are several vendors who are selling their frameworks, which are actually the powerful WordPress themes, but are not installed as they are. A framework provides options, usually in drag and drop form, to change the layout and design elements. Following frameworks are very popular.
  1. Divi Theme
  2. Ultimatum theme
  3. iThemes
  4. DMS Framework from Page Lines
  5. Headway
Which one is better to choose- A theme generator or a framework?
We can’t declare that the theme generators are the best, or the frameworks are the best. Both have their pros and cons. So, it is the matter of personal choice.



Pros of using a theme generator-

  • You can make a unique WordPress theme.
  • No limitation on domain support.
  • You can show your own creativity.
  • You will use the
Cons of using a theme generator-
  • We don’t see any drawback of using a theme generator, especially in case of the TemplateToaster. Might be, in case of free theme generator, you would face problems regarding non-availability of enough of designing options and technical features.

Pros of using a theme framework-
  • You can customize the look and feel of the theme framework according to your needs.
  • You can get the child theme within a couple of minutes.

Cons of using a theme framework-
  • You don’t get an exclusive theme.
  • Limited support for particular domains only.
  • You don’t actually deploy the base theme, but you actually use a child theme.
  • You can’t make unlimited themes from a framework, but you can do this with the theme generator.
 Suggestion and recommendation
I have already told, above, about my personal choice. I think that using a theme generator is the best way, thus, I recommend also. Owing to the robust technical features and a huge designing options, I recommend the TemplateToaster to everyone.

How to Build WordPress Themes without Coding

As you have decided to make your website, you would have some idea as to how your website should look. May be you are desirous to make own theme yourself, but unable to move further because coding is a big hurdle for you. Don’t worry, you can make themes yourself even without coding using a WordPress theme generator.

WordPress theme generator

To use a theme generator is an easy way to make your custom website without coding. The ideal theme generators do not let you write even a single bit of code. You have to make use of your mouse rather your keyboard, and ultimately, theme gets ready to go to WordPress CMS, automatically. I can thus say that making a beautiful custom theme depends on your creativity not your programming proficiency.


 
Add design elements without coding

Generally, the theme generators provide menu based graphical options that are selected using the mouse pointer, like to select the layout, color scheme, applying images, putting header and footer elements, and so on. You can imagine as to how fuzzy it would be to write code for including such graphics or design elements to make a theme. Moreover, it’s very time consuming to have to write code for making a web design, whereas having to use a generator would take very less time.


Drag and Drop the elements

Most of the advanced theme generators provide the facility to drag an element you want and drop at the place you want that element to put. After “no coding”, the drag and drop feature makes the use of generators worthwhile.

 Variants of WordPress theme generators
Every theme generator is not standard. There are so many generators available in the market, having different features. You will find both, the free generators and the generators at price, on the internet. Free generators have usually less features, whereas the priced generators offer advanced features according to their price.


Good generators produce robust themes

A theme has aesthetic importance your website and technical importance as well. Robust theme pertains to robust website. Your theme should be search engine friendly; ultimately it will help your website to come in the good sight of search engine. A theme, further must have two qualities, one is to be responsive another is to be compatible with all most widely used browsers.
An advanced and dependable theme generator does all these things for its users. Using a good generator therefore will be more beneficial for you along with making you able to design WordPress themes without coding.

How Good Is Your Website Builder

Personally, I use the TemplateToaster, it is the best website builder for me. I don’t know, which one you use, because there are several. If you also like the same, that is TemplateToaster, then I know that why do you like it, if this is not your choice, then I would like to know as to how much good is your website builder.


How Much Easy to use is that?

The website builders are actually meant for the people who don’t know how to make websites, but they want to take a stab at it. So, it must be easy to use. There must be enough of videos or documentation to show you as to how you are going to use the software.

How Many Designing Options it has

Apart from ease, the number of designing options does matter a lot. What will be the benefit of purchasing a software if it is not going to make you elegant designs? How many options does a software have, and how much flexible it is, can only be known thoroughly by taking trial. In fact, I also have bought the TemplateToaster after having its trial.


Is it Responsive?

The utmost feature that every website builder must have is to make responsive websites. A responsive website renders well on all types of devices. Instead of creating different versions of a website for respective devices, creating a responsive one is an intelligent way. Owing to the Bootstrap 3 support, TemplateToaster is able to create ultra responsive websites.

Are You Provided Personal Support?

See, if you were a technical person, capable enough to do the things on your own, then why would you purchase a website-builder for you. We don’t know at what point, support will become necessary. Luckily, I always get the personal support from the TemplateToaster’s support team. Some software are provided at low cost without promising support, do you own such?

Does it make Search Engine Optimized Websites?

The websites should be search engine optimized from their inception. How much a website is search engine friendly, depends somewhat on how well it has been coded. The W3C compliance and latest HTML/CSS standards are the part of search engine optimization, if your website builder generates trusted code, also compliant with W3C standards, then it is good.

Conclusion and Recommendations

A website builder that owns the latest and technical robust features must the choice of yours. Otherwise, there is no benefit of purchasing such software. The W3C compliance, HTML5/CSS3, responsive, and Botstrap3 support are such features that are required for making technically better websites. I would recommend you the one, which I use myself, TemplateToaster.

TemplateToaster is a feature packed CMS theme generator. It is capable of generating themes with important functionalists and latest designing attributes. The TemplateToaster has made it possible for designers to develop themes by providing the facility of the GUI where designer just needs to design the themes, and at the back-end TemplateToaster itself generates source code of the theme. It acts like a partner for a designer who solves the problem of writing code for designers. With TemplateToaster, I can say that a designer can be a theme developer. 
There are several reasons for liking this software, here are those.

Dedicated to Multiple Web Development Platforms
Unlike other software, TemplateToaster is dedicated to more than one content management system. It works for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and Magento. One software tool aims at multiple solutions. Each of the CMS have been employed for vivid purposes, but the basic need of a theme especially custom theme remains the same. This software, thus, has wider scope for theme development. One can make better use of TemplateToaster for any development purpose.



Faster Theme development while doing no coding
Since TemplateToaster eliminates the need to write code for making themes, obviously the development process becomes faster. While development through coding syntax and semantics takes time intensively, TemplateToaster does this job automatically for the designer.

No matter how technical you are
This seems the biggest reason of popularity. Since TemplateToaster can be used conveniently by anyone irrespective of programming and designing knowledge, individuals like to use it. Though it’s professional standard software, it’s equally useful to everyone.

Full Control over the design

TemplateToaster generates genuine code that conforms to W3c standards, and allows to add the needed functionality to the theme with one click. It gives the user full control over the design and functionality of the theme by giving click-able options. No area of designing is restricted to default settings, settings can be made custom. In simple words, TemplateToaster provide with intensive options for designing and customization.


Custom Defined Widget Areas and Slide Show
You must have experienced yourself that slide show in a web design elevates the appearance of design. With several transition effects and image editing facility, TemplateToaster causes the designer to do amazingly. One more feature of drawing custom widget areas makes its user to praise it and recommendation to others.


Good for making E-Commerce themes
Without any doubt, TemplateToaster is good for developing e-commerce themes. In case of WordPress, it allows integration with Woo-commerce plug-in, which is widely used for e-commerce purpose and in the case of Joomla same purpose is solved with Virtue-Mart extension, and its theme concatenation is also permitted by TemplateToaster.

TemplateToaster: A Smart Way to Make Themes

If you are tired of writing code for making themes, then TemplateToaster can energize you again. A software meant for making WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Magento themes, TemplateToaster gets developers rid of coding. By developers I mean all those who are either into coding job, or want to make themes but not have coding proficiency. TemplateToaster works for multiple CMSs viz. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and Magneto, Prestashop. Plus, it creates for a most loved blogging platform- the Blogger. Besides, it’s an excellent HTML website builder.


You Just Design and TemplateToaster Develops
That’s why I like TemplateToaster, I am able to show my creativity with this. It lets me do designing and takes care of development itself. How? Actually, generation of source code at the back-end is the work of TemplateToaster, and on its interface, it provides me with lots of options for designing. A designer doesn’t merely needs options for colors, shapes and pictures, but wants options for detailing. And this is what TemplateToaster allows me to do. Hence, I am able to make awesome designs. These designs come alive when I export them.

Better Focus on Detailing Than Writing Code
Before the development starts, theme mockup is prepared. Mockup describes the appearance of respective theme. It’s obvious, to exactly tell someone your requirements, you need to have a mockup. It, rather, helps the second person to understand what you want from him to do. TemplateToaster, eliminates this need. The time you are supposed to pay for making the replica, in that time you can make a functional theme. And all you would have to do is detailing and not coding.



Error-less Standard Code Generation
Yet another point supporting my trust on TemplateToaster is that it generates genuine code. Code conformity to standards is important for better running of my themes. Moreover optimized code generation is done. An optimized theme gives rise to optimized websites.

Plug-ins and Browser Compatibility, and Responsiveness
Other matters like compatibility of design with several browsers, compatibility with requires plug-ins, and responsiveness of design are greatly managed by TemplateToaster. The themes produced through TemplateToaster essentially come responsive and compatible with several browsers which are widely used. And most used plug-ins namely Woo-commerce- WordPress plug-in and VirtueMart- Joomla plug-in.

Smart Way because Time and Efforts Both are saved

I have introduced TemplateToaster with the adjective smart. Obviously, I save my time and better focus on design since I do not have to bother about writing code, and my job ends in a few hours instead of some days. So, I refer using TemplateToaster as smart way. As a further matter, TemplateToaster cares about browser compatibility and responsiveness of designs.

Make Your First Website without Learning HTML

99percent people think that to be able to make a website, keen knowledge of HTML and CSS is very important. Otherwise, one can’t do it. But, it is not completely true. In recent times, a non programmer can absolutely go ahead with the making of the website without learning programming languages. 



You need a website builder
Thanks to those advanced software that have made this possible to make websites without writing code. These software are known as website builders, and the best one among them is the TemplateToaster. The website builders are kind of software that provide a GUI interface to design a website by choosing given options. They fall into two categories, online and offline.



Online vs. offline website builders
As you know that to publish your website over the web, you will need a hosting from the provider, whether you make your website yourself or get is done from a professional developer. The online website builders are typically offered by hosting companies, they give the users a little liberty to design its website through click able choices for designing.

On the other hand, the offline website builders are offered by dedicated developers. One example of such a website builder, I have already given you, it is the TemplateToaster. They, offline website builders, happen to be downloadable from the vendors’ websites and they run on users’ personal computer systems. Thus, they are also called web design software.  
   
You can be made within a couple of minutes
Besides, not having to manually write the code, additional interest lies in website builders is of being a time saver. If a website has to make by writing code, it would take a couple of days, might be it take a single day if the website is very simple in style, but a website builder will take you a couple of minutes to design a stylish website.


Suggestions and recommendations

There are two reasons to use a website builder, one- user doesn’t need to learn to do programming, and another- development of a website gets done in short time. Furthermore, it depends on the user’s selection if a website builder can make a professionally finished website. My personal recommendation goes to the TemplateToaster, because it provides a huge number of designing options and in the end it produces such good looking websites as if designed by a professional designer.

The Best Website Builder


There are several website builders, you may find on the World Wide Web, but it is not easy to know, which one is the best among the rest. Every website builder acclaims to be the best one, but actually, you can never know if one is the best until you use that. It has been said that nothing is the perfect or the best in the world and it is absolutely true, but yeah, some things can be near perfect if not exactly. I am going to let you know the qualities of a good website builder.

What are the qualities of a best website builder?


  •     It must generate W3C compliant code.
  •     It must generate responsive website.
  •     Would offer enough of samples web designs as well.
  •     Must have enough designing options including presets.
  •     The Bootstrap support could be one more decisive factor.
  •     The websites it generates perform (in terms of size and speed) very well.
  •     It must follow the latest HTML and CSS standards as have been set by the W3C.
  •     Must be easy to use, after all it is going to be used by a general person who doesn’t know coding.



Online or offline- what is the right choice?

The website builders are mainly categorized into two classes- online and offline. As their classes depict, the online website builders are offered for making their use online only. Generally, they are offered by web hosting providers within their hosting package, or sometimes for free of cost. And, the offline website builders have to be downloaded on personal computer systems to work with. The right choice doesn’t depend on the mode of use, but it depends on whether the quality and performance of the website generated by a website builder are good or not.

Well, I have found the TemplateToaster best for me




Personally, I like the TemplateToaster very much, because it has all the qualities, I have initially mentioned. It generates W3C validated code, follows latest HTML5 and CSS3 standards, offers several nice templates, has the bootstrap3 support, flawless responsive websites are produced by it, and very easy to use. Apart from the technical qualities, I like the developers’ personal support as well. In fact, they have provided chat option on their website for any query of the visitors.
