Design A Website With Iweb And Have Alternate Themes To Choose From

Have you have ever wondered about creating a website but were afraid that it was too complicated? You would like to explore the possibility of having an online presence but don’t want to spend a fortune? Well you might want to try iWeb if you have a Mac computer. Apple’s iWeb software makes it very easy to set up a website – even for the non-techie!
With iWeb there are included themes built into the program. There are twenty-eight in iWeb ’09. These are great to get you started but eventually you may want to explore other options to make your site look different and stand out from the rest.


The iWeb themes are templates that are stylized pages that coordinate the designs to look professional even when used by non-designers. You can modify the iWeb themes but it is tedious and time consuming and not really for amateurs. But, if you are not a programmer and want a different look to your iWeb theme you are in luck!
Designers offer alternative themes and they are available for sell. You may even find alternate iWeb themes for free if you look. The themes that you purchase work within iWeb seamlessly.
Themes for iWeb have the following pages: Welcome, About Me, Photos, My Albums, Movies, Blog, Podcast and Blank. You have a great deal of flexibility using any of these theme pages.
To make your iWeb pages look different from the standard you can move around the text and picture boxes and change the fonts and colors. This can get you a little different look but if you want something really different you have to modify the theme code to use your background photos which is not that easy to do.
Several sites are out there that provide additional designs for you to use.
IPresentee has more than fifty themes to choose from. There are themes that are appropriate for business or casual use. You might find some of the themes garish or lackluster but with so many to choose from you should find something you like. In addition to the standard pages that are offered in iWeb themes they offer pages that include “My Hobbies” and “News” and even some Flash-animated title bars. You can even find themes that are flash site-welcome movies and animated GIF clip art. They even offer a great looking free theme called Treasure.
11Mystics offer only eleven themes that are attractive and have harmonious colors with balanced layouts. Some are available with extra clip art that you can customize your pages with and some have multiple color schemes.
Miamiou have twenty-one themes that are generally understated and bland but may actually appeal to you if you like a grayscale moody feel. They have a few that offer vivid colors. You can be sure that their themes will not clash with your content and will not appear at all cutesy.
Jumsoft offers twenty-one themes that are as good as the built-in ones in iWeb. Some have a simplistic and boxy feel but have a style that is hip and sets them above some of the rest.
