Firm Rolls Photoshop-to-Wordpress Plug-in

Web designers looking to more easily create Wordpress themes using Photoshop have a new tool from a Logan, Utah company. Media Lab Inc., a developer of Photoshop plugins, said today that it has rolled out a new product called SG3xpress, which allows users to create Wordpress themes and blogs using Photoshop. The firm also said it has rolled out a similar add on for SiteGrinder 3, its existing software for translating PSD files to Wordpress, to add more advanced theme building features. Media Lab said its new plug in allows designers to create a website without the need for any hand-coding, via adding hints to layers to determine what posts, comments, sidebars, menus, and other WordPress features are needed. The plug in starts at $149.00, and works on both Windows and Mac platforms.
