iStylr FAQ

What is the iStylr about? What is it used for?

The iStylr is built to reduce the development times of tableless webdesign and weblication templates to a minimum. It is used instead of text-editors and other known webdesign-tools. The iStylr is a real alternative to the existing tools and it is completely free.

Who should use the iStylr?

Webmasters and designers creating or editing tableless CSS-designs should consider using the iStylr. In first place the iSytlr is aimed for the professional user that knows how to use CSS and xHTML. The intuitive GUI and the seemlessly integrated interactive help-area of the iStylr however enable even the inexperienced webmaster to complete beautiful CSS templates in very short time spans.

Why do I have to register?

The iStylr contains functionality that relys on a valid username. The design saving feature for example as well as the export and the optional publishing feature and the image management all require such a valid username. As soon as the iStylr is out of beta we will introduce a demo account that can be used to test out this powerful tool.

Do I have to pay to download the templates?

(This function is still in development - currently all public templates are free of charge)
