A Revolutionary Tool for WordPress Designers



“There are a lot of tools present out there for the WordPress designers, but a handful are there that can be called a complete package for the designers, TemplateToaster is one of such tools, we can refer as a complete package for the designers.”
Wordpress design tools

TemplateToaster provides the widest array of options for designing themes, besides a major benefit of automatic code production. That means, a designer will have to design a theme, and the source code of that theme will be produced automatically by the TemplateToaster. Let us explore about this software, starting with its designing capabilities.

Designing Capabilities

You can avail the greater flexibility and freedom for designing professional WordPress themes with the TemplateToaster. Many designers have given positive reviews about this software that is why I made my mind to purchase this. Having had its experience for designing themes, I make recommendation of using this software to my fellows.
It has got everything that we need need, being designers. And, despite of so many options, the interface doesn’t seem cluttered. The options are presented in Ribbon style, and are categorized according to the sections of a standard WordPress theme, such as “BODY”, “PAGE”, “HEADER”, “SLIDESHOW”, “MENU”, “SIDEBAR”, “CONTENT”, “WIDGET AREA”, “FOOTER”, “ELEMENTS”, and to view the responsive layout - “RESPONSIVE LAYOUT”. The options to set background, margin, padding, height, width, typography, texture, shadow, and effect, those are used for detailing, are present in every menu option on the Ribbon. Hence, it is a good software to be used by professional designers. Yet I have not told you about one more interesting feature of TemplateToaster, it is the ability to draw the custom widget areas in the themes.
“Custom widget areas can be drawn anywhere in the theme, which is the exceptional feature and sought after option in TemplateToaster.”
Let us a have a quick glance at other options.
  • You can make custom color schemes.
  • You can include slide-show in themes.
  • You can make full width page templates.
  • You can use custom as well as Google fonts in your designs.
  • You can transform images through image editor.
  • Options to include labels, badges and alerts in the themes.
  • You can add and design more than one page template.
  • Stylish Favicons and social media icons are provided within the software package.
This video will get you more insights.





I want to show you a theme designed by me with the help of TemplateToaster.

Up to this point, I have told you enough about designing options. Now, I would tell you an utmost advantage of this software for a designer.

It will be your best partner as a coder
Usually, the designer only works on the creative part, they don’t know PHP coding, and that is why they work in collaboration with the developers. The best advantage of using the TemplateToaster is that you wouldn’t need to look for a front end coder, who will encode your design, because, TemplateToaster will automatically generate all the code in one click for your designs.
“Freelance designers may draw the best benefits for them from TemplateToaster as they could do projects without being collaborated with the coders.”

In the end

No PHP knowledge! No need to write code! All you need is to have creative ideas of designing for WordPress themes. TemplateToaster is there as a partner for every designer, which will automatically generate the programming code for your designs.

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.
