WordPress Template Generator to help you make Custom Themes

I have to admit that it’s too late when I discovered this tool in making my own custom theme which is almost finished. If you’ve been using a theme from the wordpress archive of downloadable themes, I highly suggest that you make your own theme to establish your identity. Templatr is a web application that makes it easy for you create a solid foundation in making your own wordpress theme. Although Theme Frameworks are good choice in making one, a template made by Templatr is not that bad too. It’s much simpler and you can dictate what kind of layout you want to implement. If you’ll be making a wordpress theme from scratch I highly recommend Templatr in making your preferred layout.

If you’ve decided to make your own custom made wordpress theme you can check out small potato’s tutorial. I started making my own theme based from small potato’s wordpress theme creation series which is the best tutorial if you’re a complete beginner with no idea on how wordpress themes are made. And lastly you need some css php and html background to easily grasp the ideas but if you don’t have any of those skills you don’t need to worry since the tutorial is meant for a complete beginner.Templatr is meant for theme developers with basic knowledge in wordpress theme creation. If you don’t have any idea on how to make a wordpress theme then this thing is not for you. The core idea behind this is that you’ll have a solid foundation in creating a layout so that if you’ll pursue advance customizations with it, then it will be much easier to tweak the theme without accidentally deleting important code snippets.

With Templatr you’ll just follow 3 easy steps and your theme is just a click away for download. What’s really cool about Templatr is that you can choose what kind of layout you want so you’ll work with “floats” in css in a short period of time. There are 24 layouts to choose from which covers almost all popular theme styles around. After you made a choice of what template to use you can  upload some images which you want to use to style your theme. Everything is taken care of, from divs and stylesheet which is automatically generated when you download the theme. Once you upload the images, you can use the designer to help you get familiar with the assigned name of divs and classes. It is found above the main page preview with a list of dropdown forms to choose the part of the page you want to customize. And of course you can click the download link once you’re satisfied with your own design. ^^
