Netvibes creates web design tools for everyone For those who wish to customize their web pages but have little design knowledge or training, Netvibes, a popular personal web portal, has just produced Netvibes Theme Publishing, a suite of online tools that makes basic page creation easy.

"Netvibes offers designers the best of all worlds: live drag-and-drop layouts and page publishing, deep built-in content libraries and user interactivity - and now with our new Theme Publishing - complete control over every design aspect of their pages," said Netvibes CEO Freddy Mini.

The new tools are designed to make two essential tasks easy. The first is page creation, which the tools facilitate by allowing for the selection of elements such as colors, layouts and backgrounds with no more than a few clicks. The second is exporting, which is also made simple so that themes designed using the new Netvibes tools can be used on any website of the user''s choice without much effort.

For advanced designers, there is an XML-based theme API that allows users to create animated themes.

As more control is offered to web users via tools like these, web designers must increase their knowledge of the latest services and learn to incorporate them into their set of services. To learn more about the latest developments in web design, speak to an administrator of a web design education program.
