As we continue our series on Online Generators, we begin to focus more on sites that can provide more than just single components of a site. Today’s entry touches on an area that interests most of us … the ability to create your own WordPress Theme online.
One general comment is that we were very pleased by what was available today. But I personally feel that there is still some effort needed to make these sorts of tools easy to use for the masses.
We hope you enjoy our selection.

I can’t tell you how many times I have been designing a web site and come to a point where I say to myself, “I wish I had a really cool looking button for this section.”
So I start up Adobe Photoshop, of which my skills are somewhat lacking, and I attempt to create a stunning button. Hours later, I have a so-so graphic that looks like something a 3 year old drew with a crayon. Not my desired result and a major waste of time.
So I was very pleased to run across this fantastic online tool for creating very cool looking buttons. It takes very little effort on my part, but looks like I know my stuff when it comes to creating graphics.
In four easy steps, you too can have a Web 2.0 button that looks as stunning as the one shown here.
Step 1 – Select the size of your button with the handy slider bar
Step 2 – Select a color for your button
Step 3 – Optionally use a predefined, or uploaded, icon in the button and size it
Step 4 – Select your Text, font style, size and color
Click ‘Apply’ and there you have your newly created, stunning looking Web 2.0 button. Don’t like it? Then revisit any step and click ‘Apply’ again. When you like what you see, just download it to your computer by clicking the ‘Download’ button.
What could be easier? And better yet, what else can make me look like the web design professional I wish I was?
