Abstract: A web design system for generating webpages containing text graphics in which the text graphics are generated dynamically using a text graphics generator to apply preconfigured style templates to text strings, wherein the style templates define a set of appearance attributes relevant to converting text strings into text graphics. The use of the text graphics generator is thus moved from a semi-manual process carried out by the web designer at the webpage design stage, to an automated process that is decoupled from the webpage design and deferred until the publishing stage. The system can be used either as a design tool by the web designer before delivering a static website, or for dynamic websites such as catalogue based sales websites with realtime stock control updates and frequent product line changes.
