Design Assistant

Following the popularity of Movable Type Design Assistant, we've created a new version of this easy-to-use tool for TypePad. TypePad Design Assistant allows you to:

* "test-drive" more than 100 professionally-designed themes and five classic layouts
* experiment with customizing CSS for your blog without making a commitment
* see screenshots reflecting changes in real time
* discover new possibilities for the look of your blog quickly and easily

By now, chances are that you have seen some well-designed blogs hosted by TypePad. The reasons why so many designers and artists use TypePad to power they blogs are numerous: 100+ great themes, custom banners, smart layouts, extensive widget gallery and drag-and-drop functionality, to name a few. But the thing we are most proud of here at TypePad can be summed up in one word: control.

TypePad users are given complete control over their blogs: no ads, almost no restrictions on the type of photo or video file for upload, personalized URL through domain mapping, total customization through Advanced Templates and -- as the Design Assistant will demonstrate -- the ability to change designs whenever, wherever and however they like.
