Looking For Free Web Templates
Many years ago, I created my very first web site. I looked at it in the Wayback Machine, and was amazed at how terrible it looked. Since then, I have learned to create my own web sites, mostly due to my friends at Open Designs, which I am a moderator. The great people at this community have taught me a lot, and made it easier for me to create new websites for myself.
There are many sites on the net which have some great free templates. The only request from many of them is to keep a link to them some place on your site. All you need to do is read their license agreement that comes with the template. Here are my top ten sites that I visit to admire their work. I apologize if I left anyone out, as there are many great sites on the net for free templates.
- Free Web Site Templates has not updated in over a year, but still carry some of the nicest free templates. To me, many of the templates are unique with their design, varying in shapes and sizes. They are very easy to modify.
- CSS Crème has some of the classiest templates I have found on the net. They may be a little harder to modify, but they are beautiful templates. If you are looking for an online store template, they have some beauties.
- If you like music templates, my friend Wolfram from Germany has some awesome looking templates. He is very talented with not only templates, but graphics too!
- I just love Styleshout’s designs. They are sleek and good looking. Very easy to modify. I just love the choice of colors for these templates.
- Denise Mitchinson has close to 100 free designs on her site. The all have such an organized look to them, and very professional looking.
- Not many here, but Eatlon’s designs are some of the best on the net. One word, Gorgeous.
- Nuvio’s templates are great. You can choose a template, and pick the color of your choice for that template.
- TemplateMo is one of my favorites. Some of the newer templates just blow me away.
- I can’t make a list like this without mentioning my friend Roshan, at Rambling Soul. I am speechless when I look at his work.
- Some of the best looking free templates are located at Template World. Some did not render well for me in Firefox when the text was enlarged, but incredible looking templates.
If you are in a hurry, I found a great site that allows you to edit their template online, then renders the finished template to you once completed. The name of the site is called Do Template. It is a unique way to create a template…..fast.
All the sites listed are great places to not only get templates, but a great way to learn about creating your own templates. I just dissect them to pieces when I download them, and try to figure out what they did to create their beautiful work.
One great thing about Attackr.com, is you can comment. I’d love to see some of your favorite free template sites.
