Short Description:
Not a designer? Or maybe you just don’t have the time? If you can make nicely
structured HTML, let somebody else do the design. This site/widget collects user
submitted stylesheets and lets your users vote on them until you have the
perfect look.
Full Description:
Assuming there’s some way to entice people to make your site look prettier, this
service provides a drop-in widget that will let people upload a CSS file for
your site. The widget will apply the various stylesheets and ask users for their
opinion.
Users interested in taking a more active role can browse the stylesheets while
on our site, seeing them as they look on your site from the widget, while saying
whether they like it or not. The system will automatically show more preferred
stylesheets until it feels its settled on a style. You can either keep the
widget and further refine, or take the widget off and keep the style.
It’s completely drop in and no risk. You should be able to just copy and paste,
then wait for users to help out.
It can also randomly apply known generic stylsheets that might make your site
better looking than no style. This can help bootstrap the process.
