Working with Other CMS Templates

When you are creating a CMS template (e.g. Joomla, Wordpress, etc.), you are creating a style for
how your content will appear to your users but not the actual content. Except for a few things, like the

Header background and foreground, the content of your web page is created in the CMS, not in

Artisteer. What you see in the Preview area is only an example, or sample content, to help you see
the ‘look’ of the page. For example, you can define the font style, color, and size for text that appears

in an Article. When you create an Article later in the CMS, you do not have to define this look; all you
have to do is supply the text of the Article, and your text will appear on your web page in the style that

you defined in Artisteer.

When you create a ‘website or blog’ project, you can directly add or change your content directly in

Artisteer, and at the same time, you can also define a style for the various elements of the page (e.g.
Header, Layout, Menu, etc.) The content you create, such as Article text can be published and viewed

on Artisteer.net, but you cannot publish the pages you create to any other CMS (e.g. Joomla,
Wordpress, etc.) since these CMSs are not designed to handle content in any other way except within

the CMS. You can reuse your style settings with other CMS templates, but not the content.

If you want to create a template for one of the other CMSs, use the File menu at the top of the Artisteer

window (FileChange Template). When you change the project template, you will probably notice

that the pages you created before have disappeared. Since the content cannot be used with any other
template type, the pages are hidden. The content is not lost; you can always go back to these pages
