Since the beginning of last year, the WordPress Theme Generator has been moving around, and you may have heard something about it; this is one of our best projects, and it seems that a lot of people is trying it out now and most of them are having excellent results and satisfaction with the tool. If at this point you are wondering what is so good about the WordPress Theme Generator, we are going to tell you a little bit more about it; in this post we are going to compare the WordPress theme Generator with other four similar applications; leaving partiality aside in the best way we can, despite the description of our tool is significantly bigger for obvious reasons. Take a look at this post and find out what advantages this tool has to offer.
WordPress Theme Generator
WordPress Theme Generator is an intuitive and pretty easy to use tool. The first advantage this tool has is that its homepage is a demo that anyone can test without having to sign up; there are dozens of default themes with several styles to modify, which makes easier for a visitor to create a great theme by improving a pre-designed theme rather than making one from scratch; the home page behaves as a playground, interface is user friendly and within the personalize menu in the right hand side are all the options we can use to modify our themes; you won’t need to have any coding skills to create your own theme.
In example it’s possible to change the layout structure by selecting one of the layout styles available, we remark that whichever layout you select will look awesome thanks to their great designs. The sections are designed to look the best way. The width selected is almost a standard to ensure the theme will look good with any screen size, although the themes you create with this tool count with a special feature: They are fully responsive! and will look good on any device. Responsiveness is a must these days; WordPress Theme Generator is in the vanguard and frees you from the burden of thinking how to make your site available for all devices.
Dashboard Functionality
Your theme is not unchangeable once put into WordPress. Edited themes downloaded and installed in WordPress have customization options that are added to the admin bar in your dashboard ( the theme generator control panel). Using these options it’s easy to change the slider style, animation and frame. It is also possible to select the layout sections we want to show or hide, we can create awesome photo galleries too in just a few clicks and a wide number of other things we can do from this panel in order to enhance the theme’s look.
