Nice idea to come up with a tool to generate themes. I will evaluate this more and write a review post on this soon

Wish to see more such utilities come along for enhancing user experience.

Thanks for the writeup Jeff

If anyone has any feeback, I’m VERY keen to hear from you. I try to fix bugs within about 24 hours and I’m actively adding new features all the time, so if you have any requests just let me know and I’ll see what I can do to implement them. Feedback should be posted in our forum.

Very nice tool. Quickly make a design and modify it how you like. I have a few requests and such I’ll drop into the forums.

Good luck with this AWESOME project. It’s looking great!

Looks like a great tool. I do think the support is a tad overpriced at 50 bucks a month. When I can go to an excellent place like elegantthemes or themehybrid for a fraction of that price. I am a casual themer and it often times takes me over a month just to tweak what I want to put together.

Jeff, Looks promising. Some feedback. After exporting, when attempting to open the zip file, I get the message “the compressed zip folder is corrupt or invalid.”

The tool definitely looks promising.. Hope it prospers and develops further..

Your pricing is unrealistic. You might want to start with a tenth of that for the extra design and retrieval features; $5 a month. You can charge for premium support separately.

Pricing is ridiculously high. $600 dollars/year? I’m hoping there’s a typo somewhere.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into altering the pricing structure then. I’ll have a think and maybe alter some things in a few hours time.

@clickfire – could you save your design (under ‘Upload/save’) and post it in my support forum? http://pixopoint.com/forum/. I’m not sure why it isn’t exporting for you, but I should be able to figure it out from that save file.

From one SitePointer to another, Ryan – nice job.

Great find! But I think I’d still stick on making WordPress themes manually.

This looks like a great time saver. I can’t wait till I have time to play with it.

The pricing will be plummeting shortly. There is a slight delay as I’m trying to implement a tiered system, weekly, monthly or yearly subscription. I’ll post back once it’s up and running properly.

Pricing has been slashed to the following:
US$4.99 / week
US$14.99 / month
US$99.99 / year

This gives access to both our premium dropdown menu CSS generator and the premium features of the template generator. More features will be added to the premium service over the next week if things go according to plan.

I have not tryed you template generator yet, but your pricing is a little steep. Artisteer seems to be the best WordPress template generator. http://www.artisteer.com

  All, I can say is I may have to give your Template Generator a try as an addition to the Artisteer Generator. May be a great add on for sure!

Having a generator for bbpress would be a BIG hit!

I’ve been developing this one : theme generator . It’s still in beta but already offers a bunch of cool features to personnalize your blog theme.
