Do you want to make a website today? With StrangeBanana all the web designer has to do is click a button and a new, unique source code is revealed. Don’t like the website, click again for another option.

Strange Banana is a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) generating program that is used to automatically create graphic designs for web pages. With this automated CSS tool and generator, users are able to come up with unique and quality webpage designs for websites. Every graphic design developed using strange Banana is a unique design created randomly. Users can even go ahead and use created graphic designs on their websites. The Strange Banana website is generated using CSS Level 2 and XHTML 1.0 while C# and Microsoft .NET are used in programming the actual generator.

How to Use StrangeBanana to Generate Website Code

To use the Strange Banana program, go to the Generator Page for the program. A webpage that is automatically generated by the program appears. Users can then refresh this page as many times as desired to reveal new graphic designs. Strange Banana works with random selection of colors, fonts and any other elements used for layout then integrates them. However, creating designs randomly rarely creates usable and good designs. Thus, this program follows an algorithm that improves the quality of the design. For instance, the program does not randomly choose a cluster of colors; instead, it chooses one color randomly, and then creates other colors matching with it.

In case a user gets a less than attractive design, they only have to click the ‘Reload’ button and view the next design. This process can be continued until you get one that meets your needs. Users can use graphic designs created by Strange Banana on their websites just as they are or modify them. To use graphic designs created using this program on websites, users require some knowledge of CSS and HyperText Markup Language (HTML). Users that have knowledge in HTML and CSS will be able to tell what steps to follow with just a glance at the source code for both the CSS and HTML displayed on the generator pages. Copy internal style sheets from the program to your style sheet then modify your pages using specified ids.

Final Thoughts on StrangeBanana

The StrangeBanana web design tool is a great place for new designers or novice web developers to begin a new website. The generated websites are not going to win the next big Internet awards show, but with a few little tweaks here and there the websites created with this code could shine!
