Buttonator: Lightweight Design Tool

June 19th, 2008 (2:00pm) Mike Gunderloy 2 Comments

ScreenshotWhat do you do if you next web site requires a fancy-schmancy graphic Web 2.0 style button? Fire up PhotoShop or The Gimp and make one. But if you don’t have the skills to do that, you can use Buttonator.com as a quick alternative. The workflow is simple: enter the text you want, use checkboxes to set things like font and height and width, and browse through the style gallery. Then drag and drop the style you want to the button preview, and you’re there.

You can download the final button to use it directly on your web site. Or, if you prefer, you can join Buttonator for free, and they’ll host the graphic for you. At the very least, it’s a way to get things mocked up more quickly so you can hand them off to a real designer.
