    Artisteer 2 is an amazing program designed to make professional templates for the leading content management systems: Joomla, WordPress, Drupal and now DotNetNuke.

    Artisteer 2 uses an interface similar to the Microsoft 2007 Suite that takes you through the template development process step by step.  This software is great for developers who want to make simple websites for their clients.

    There are two purchase options: Home Edition and Standard. Home edition will only allow you to develop WordPress Templates but only costs $48.95. Given the ever increasing flexibility and power of WordPress this may be all you need. Still, with the Standard edition coming in at $129.95, it adds a full library of textures, photos and other aspects to improve your design.

    While this is a great tool for throwing out Templates, the code level is pretty heavy but still maintains compliancy.  I seem to have some issues with drop-downs in Joomla, but there has been an update since that may have fixed this issue.
