CSS W3 Site Templates/Templets Catalog
Delays, Delays :
We have several free templates/templets currently in use, now. Due to an unreasonably high work load, I still need to get our current catalog of web design layouts zipped-up and ready for distribution.
We are also learning some new CSS design techniques to assist in design element positioning that will also be a great help for webmasters looking to search engine optimize the code on their websites. In fact, we will probably be making all of our table based website design layouts available for free as long as the person using them will keep our link at the bottom of each page.
In the meantime, we are creating new CSS designed templates and testing out our older table based design templates. Some of these are for web applications such as phpLinkDirectory. Others are in the works.
Please come back and check our progress. Although our catalog will start small, we will be featuring quality, original, optimized website design layout templates that will include comments which will allow for easy editing and updating, along with a complete instruction sheet that you can print out. Our goal is to make getting you or your business online with a professional presence as easily and hassle-free as possible.
Distribution:
Distribution of our own original templates/templets files and archives is the sole and
exclusive right of the authoring design studio, Symbiotic Design™.
No reselling or redistribution of these files is permitted in any shape or form, by any
possible method. By using or storing our templates/templets you agree our Terms
of Use.
All site templets are distributed in a zip format archive to reduce filesize and keep
the directory structure of all files involved intact. It is important to note that the
original directory structure is required to view the original pages properly, though you
are encouraged to modify the pages and links to suit your needs. Windows XP can
decompress these archives easily. Others should get a reliable zip archive utility. If
you need one, you can download our favorite, here.
Free Templets Requirement:
All free website design templates and templet sets require that the Copyright notice and
link back to our website remain intact and visible in any web browser that conforms to
proper HTML and CSS standards. All site templets (whether freeware or commercial) come
equipped with these links. Only customers who have paid for, or registered a site templet
package may remove these links. For more information, please read our Terms
of Use. |
