Hi,

Has anyone developed or seen a wysiwyg template creator for eZ Publish?

There is one available that says it supports Drupal and Joomla called Artisteer (www.artisteer.com), and they say it will be extended to support "other CMS" this year. I've contacted them to find out if this will include eZ Publish. (No word yet).

I have clients who have seen and used systems like this, and are a bit lost because (afaik) there is nothing equivalent / yet available for eZ Publish. But perhaps I'm wrong...

Anyone know of anything like this that exists now?

(I realise that - technically - this can be done with Dreamweaver, for example, but I'm looking for options for people that want to make simple changes themselves and don't have the time to become experts in CSS or eZ Publish).

Many Thanks

Hello Paul,
Newbee to eZ Publish, I don't know the answer to your question, but quite used with Joomla, I can say that Artisteer is a mess. It doesn't produce clean code and css, and over forums, a lot of people complain about cross-browser compatibility. Could be nice for a personal page but not for a profesionnal application.
Hope it helps !
