Extensoft announces Artisteer 2.0, a new version of its award winning automated Web design tool for creating templates for Websites and blogs. The new version adds support for the most popular open source content management systems: Joomla and Drupal, in addition to previously supported Wordpress themes and generic web templates. Other new features include typography, internationalization of exported templates, and more.

Artisteer eliminates the need to learn Photoshop, Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS or other Web technologies to produce professional and original Website designs. The finished designs can be output as a Wordpress blog theme, Drupal CMS theme or Joomla template, XHTML+CSS driven web design, or a Web Application Template. Support for Google's Blogger and additional content management systems is also planned.

The design automation, variety of design elements, and precision control features wrapped in an intuitive interface, enable everyone from technology professionals to the average blogger with little or no technical experience to quickly build professional presence based on validated HTML and the smart use of CSS.

Artisteer was built using a thorough standards-based approach with support for tableless layouts in XHTML and CSS output, W3C color contrasting and Section 508 standards. Extensoft's groundbreaking engineering also minimizes page load times by utilizing CSS image fusion that decreases the number of images used for displaying buttons, rounded corners and various effects. Artisteer also solves many Web browser compatibility and technical problems facing professional Web designers today, making it an essential Web design tool for professionals and amateurs alike, no matter how simple or complex the project. Artisteer allows everyone to be able to create deluxe pages without the added expenses of CSS template purchases or hiring third parties to create their dreams.
