I will have another go at it when I get some time to clean it up further. There is currently no direct integration between Artisteer and Thesis. I just use Artisteer to make a site, the take various elements of the design and push them into Thesis. A nice web design is less complicated that you think. If you want success for your site, I would just use a simple basic Thesis design with maybe a nice background colour or repeating tile, and concentrate on your site's content and marketing. You are guaranteeing failure for any online venture if you get overly hooked up in how the thing looks. Traffic and conversions are all that matter and the design won't make the buy your product or you. Hi Tim

That being said, I came across Artisteer and I see that you did some integration of it with your Thesis WP theme. I'm considering the same. There has obviously been another release of the product since you used it, so I was wondering if you've continued to use it since, have used the most recent version as well as just how complicated it is to integrate the two? Any insight would be hugely, hugely appreciated! Thank you so much for any help!
