Custom sheet Designer?

It’s there as way just to deign the sheet, drag and drop buttons and designs, and then just copy and paste the code into the html section of the custom sheet ? Like I want to play Holylands RPG on roll 20 but there’s no sheet so I need to make one, but I don’t know code that well... I’m more of a design my own and the code is either done in background or by a coder...  any suggestions or ideas, maybe some one maybe made a sheet template thingy to where we can edited from the appearance side and not the code only type, then have to upload to web to preview?

Unfortunately there's no such shortcut. The only way to make a sheet is to get your hands dirty with coding html, css, and sometimes javascript. The existing character sheets are all on roll20's github site, and can be downloaded to copy and tweak and experiment with. It's a huge task for someone with no background in html though.

Originally started learning Git/GitHub to be able to contribute to the sheet repository as well. And now, I work on these things part-time. :D A small background with programming does help, and the Roll20 wiki have improved the help articles on character sheet creation.

I just looked back through my topics, and my first html question here about 2.5 years ago was answered by you, Finderski! So it's definitely possible. But it is going to take a long time to get to grips with it, and you feel like you're banging your head against a wall a lot. I shouldnt have ended my post like that. I should have added something a bit more hopeful, like: The existing character sheets are all on roll20's github site, and can be downloaded to copy and tweak and experiment with. It's a huge task for someone with no background in html though. It is possible to learn though. It is going to take a long time to get to grips with it, and you feel like you're banging your head against a wall a lot, but if you're patient and willing to stick at it, the forum here will help you through it..

LOL ;) GiGs said: I shouldnt have ended my post like that.

Definitely a lot of wall damage...I've had to re do my walls like five times. :-O

Such modesty! You're one of the big reasons that the wiki is better now than it was. Finderski said: Give all the help you're giving on the Sheet workers and such, I feel there should be a Darth Vader quote following that...something like, "Now I am the master..." LOL ;) I still have plenty to learn about CSS. Until then, you're safe, old man.  Hehe. Back to OP: yeah, I wish there was a tool like the one you asked about. But for now we have to it manually, but the forums are big and friendly, and you'll get plenty of help if you try to make a sheet.
