The first impression is often the lasting impression. And your website’s appearance creates the first impression on the visitor. The impression of a well designed website can not be overstressed. Not only does an attractive and pleasing design ensure lower bounce rates but it also increases the visitors trust (yes, people do judge a book by it’s cover). You are more likely to sell a product if the website looks good. But not everyone can design websites themselves and not everyone can afford a web-designer. That’s where templates come in.
Dreamtemplate.com is one of the finest template repositories on the net. It has a huge collection of both free and premium website templates. They offer over three hundred high quality free templates. Free templates are available for both professional and personal websites and cover a wide range of themes. I was glad to see proper implementation of CSS in the free templates (dont know about the premium templates). Unlike many other popular template repositories, Dreamtemplate avoids using tables. Not only are tables outdated they are also make editing templates a pain. Proper implementation of CSS ensures that even a novice would be able to edit and modify the templates according to his needs. Some free templates are showcased below :
Besides free templates Dreamtemplate features more than thousand Premium Quality Website & Flash Templates. All of these templates are Dreamweaver / Frontpage / GoLive / HTML Editor ready and include PSD file in addition to the HTML file. Although I have focused on website templates, Dreamtemplate also provides Microsoft Office Word Templates, Microsoft Office PowerPoint Templates, Cliparts, Abstract Images & Animations, Background Textures, Professional True-Type Fonts, Unique Design/Abstract Logos ,Professional Business Legal Forms/Documents. And believe it or not you can get unlimited access for 1 full year to all the premium content for only $59.95. That is less than what most websites charge for a single template. In fact each template works out at just 6 cents! Not only that you also get free access to BrochureReady.com, Iconobjects.com and ThemeLayout.com as a bonus! Dreamtemplate also has an affiliate program that pays you 30% commission for every sale
ToptenReviews selected Dreamtemplate in its list of top ten Website Template Services 2008 and with good reason. Dreamtemplate is indeed a dream come true if you are looking for quality templates. They offer a large number of free templates which should be good enough for most purposes. And in case you need a premium template even then you would get incredible value for money.
is there any free repository for templates or user group
You can get free templates at Dreamtemplate.com itself.
Thanks for the info.
DreamTemplate had some really nice templates but the cost was quite high. I really wanted a monthly payment option, though. I didn’t really want to be tied down for a year and I wanted a flexible payment plan so paying every month was great. I found TemplateDrop.com for $9.95 a month and used coupon code TDROP1. I saved an additional 25% with the coupon. Webhosting was included as well, unlike DreamTemplate.
wow, the templates are absolutely stunning.
