Summer is just around the corner and a lot of businesses are taking advantage of this season to grow their revenues. They engage in promos or gimmicks that will increase their customers and boost their sale. The latest I’ve seen is that of Shopwise.

Tagged as Shopwise Summer Sarap, the promo runs from March 13-April 12. The top prizes include a Brand New Kia Carnival, Trip for two to Hong Kong and LG Home Theatre. The promo is actually different from the traditional ones. The winners will not be drawn. Rather, those who are drawn are contestants for the ‘pabitin’ game. This means that you have to be lucky twice to take home the grand prize.

I got few entries for this promo and I’m keeping my fingers crossed hoping that I’ll win, though I’ve never won in any major promos before.

Creating your own websites is relatively simple nowadays. A lot of what-you-see-is-what-you-get web design software are out there that will help you create your website quickly. Gone are the days when you spend hours or even days working on the design. Today, it’s wiser to spend those hours to generate your content.

Most of the themes and templates for WordPress, Joomla and other platforms that are available on the internet were created by these web design applications. So far, the best application that I’ve ever used is Artisteer. In as little as one minute, I can come up with a very nice design for a website.

Artisteer allows you can generate random designs. After which, you can modify the details such as headers, footers, body, menu and a lot more. Given this flexibility, you can generate thousands of unique themes that you can sell or give away.

The latest version allows you to export your design into a WordPress theme, a Joomla template or a Drupal Theme. You can also export it into a traditional website design.

Here are some of the designs that I made with Artisteer. All of them are created with just one click! :)
