The problem with frameworks is that they take more time to build and require you to provide most, if not all, of the graphical assets. You know, all the stuff Artisteer doesn't have. They also tend to have a lot of the extras built in like visual composer-type page creation and layout tools, shortcodes, sliders, tons of widget areas, form builders, page template options, etc. There are frameworks that are a lot better at both design and layout capabilities. In fact, there are a lot of negatives with Artisteer such as online exports, broke SDKs, broken responsiveness, outdated javascript libraries, slow updates/patches, etc. It's usually people pointing to other themes asking if they could be done is Artisteer and the answer is usually "no." So, how can Artisteer be the best? Or maybe a better question is, what is Artisteer the best at? Artisteer is a good "all-around" tool that's able to quickly generate themes across multiple platforms but it isn't particularly the best at anything. So, can anyone honestly, truly say that the designs coming out of Artisteer are the best? I looked at some of the sample sites done in Genesis, as an example, and I realized that many couldn't be duplicated within Artisteer. A few do stand out but they're heavily modified with tons of plugins, custom code, etc.
I've seen a lot of the sites people post in the forums and played around with all of the sample templates over the years. Let's think about that for a second because I certainly have over the past few days and weeks. A lot of people are saying Artisteer is the best. I've tried just about everything out there with varying levels of success. Personally, I spend a lot of money each and every year buying themes, theme subscriptions, frameworks, plugins, etc.
I've done pretty well with that philosophy so far, knock on wood. If their changes potentially impact my relationship with my customers, I run. If a company makes major changes that show a clear lack of respect for their customers, I start walking for the door. The best way for me to respond to your question is to say that I made my decision years before Artisteer was written, if that makes any sense. My question to you is, are you sure you are making a good calculated business decision, what's best for you, and not an emotional decision? I think it's fine if some people want to stay with the program. Everything falls apart after that ! My question to you is, are you sure you are making a good calculated business decision, what's best for you, and not an emotional decision? Are you separating your anger, and disgust, while deciding what to do? Step back, and think about it, and if you like, I'll explain my thinking to why I'm sticking with Artisteer - at least for now. We also agree that this online thing is the worst thing ever. So, we all agree that Artisteer is the best for what it does. subscription? Awesome! And at $60, it's cheap! "Get every theme we make, now and in the future, for ONLY $349.95!" Again, awesome! I'm sold! I'm definitely going to buy it. The most impressive part of Genesis is: 1) Unlimited Updates, Support & Sites 2) One-time Purchase Fee So, no b.s. Ops.don't take out the dash from the last one.
TEMPLATETOASTER VS ARTISTEER FREE
There isa free highly configurable theme, Weaver II. Given the direction (or lack of it) that 4.2 seems to be heading in and all the problems reported here what are the real alternatives for generating themes for wordpress? I know there have been lots of complaints understandably regarding 4.2 but I do not see any decent alternatives to Art if you are just wanting to build themes.Ĥ.
