 Have
you ever wished for a one-stop web template resource that didn't
bite your wallet? Have you been paying $25-$40 or more for a single
template? Would 18¢ per web design template with an external style
sheet make you smile? You are not alone. Today I have good news
for you.
BasicTemplates.com
was developed in May 2002 to provide web designers or site owners
just like you an affordable resource for quality, original web site
templates. Nearly one year later its success has far surpassed what
could have ever been imagined. It quickly became a valuable resource
tool in every serious designers arsenal of design tools and has
been featured on high profile sites such as Lockergnome, About.com
and Bravenet.
Here is just a small
list of the many benefits and advantages you receive when subscribing
to a BasicTemplates.com
membership.
- The annual membership
fee is a one-time charge. You get access to all the templates
for what you might pay for one or two templates elsewhere.
- There are no monthly
fees or recurring billing. You decide if you wish to renew when
your membership term has expired.
- New templates are
added to the members area every week.
- All templates are
designed using an "external" style sheet (CSS) for high performance
and maximum design effectiveness. External CSS eliminates the
many redundant HTML font tags, color tags, and other properties
that slows down the load time of your web pages and makes maintenance
to your site a living nightmare. You simply edit one file and
it changes those properties on every page of your website. It's
like magic! The only reason not to use External CSS in your web
design projects is because you did not know how until NOW; thanks
to a very generous and affordable membership subscription plan
at BasicTemplates.com.
- With all the CSS properties
that are predesigned within the templates for you, you have a
remarkable tool to quickly teach yourself the basics of CSS with
only a tiny bit of elbow grease.
- Many of the elements
within the templates are interchangeable with each other which
further extends the value when you consider the millions of potential
design possibilities at your fingertips 24/7/365. For example,
use the header image of template #10, the style sheet from template
#400 and navigational bar from template #555 and you can quickly
assemble a new layout customized for your site or your clients'
web site.
- Whether you are beginner
or expert, a membership is a must-have. You can use them "as is"
to produce a fully functional site within a few minutes or as
a starting point to build upon.
- You are permitted
to use them on your clients sites if you are a web designer. Web
designers are not charged higher fees.
- No link back is required.
- You are not limited
to using each template only once.
- The design layouts
are considered basic which means they are easy to edit regardless
of your design skill level, and they are not weighted down with
bloated, unnecessary graphics. It is ironic that what many designers
call "deluxe" BasicTemplates.com
calls "Basic". Go figure what a template they designed would look
like if they considered it "Deluxe"!
- Each template comes
with one HTML index page, an "external" style sheet designed specifically
for that template and graphics. Did you know that 95% of the time
when you design a website you do not need to purchase a multi-page
template package? Designers who sells these packages would like
for you to think so, but it simply is not true. You can add your
links and create your multiple pages yourself within minutes.
That saves you money and valuable time trying to figure out what
and where they linked pages that you do not need or where to link
pages you might need to add.
- The total price of
any single template (which is only $5.00 USD each) that are purchased
by customers are directly subtracted from your membership subscription
fee whenever you decide to join. No kidding. So if you purchase
two $5.00 templates in March, three in April and one in June and
then you decide to subscribe to a membership in July, they will
deduct $30.00 from your subscription fee. (6 prior template purchases
at $5.00 USD each = $30.00 discount)
- A suggestion form
is available to members who need a template theme that is not
provided. When the template is designed (generally the next week),
it is made available to all members.
- A free support help
desk ticket system and a knowledge base is available to members.
Yes, that's right! Whether you purchased a $5.00 template or a
full membership, you get free support!
- Many unadvertised
freebies such as generic web form templates, 404 error page templates,
thank you page templates, buttons, icons, etc. are available within
the membership area and new freebies are added periodically.
- Weekly "web design"
and "CSS" tutorials and tips are published to further help you
and spark your creative juices. They even share ideas with you
on how to make your site work for you and not against you. These
articles are written by qualified, professional designers in the
web development business since 1994 and graphics/art design since
1980. You can be sure their advice and opinions are based on experience
and not by something they read or plagiarized from someone's web
site.
- Free syndicated web
page content is available for anyone who wants to offer tutorials
to their site visitors.
- Discounts are available
to BasicTemplates
members on other popular webmaster resources.
- And there is so much
more we cannot possibly write it all down for you because they
add new features, money making options and programs to their site
constantly! You have got to see it to believe it! Go
there now and tell them I sent you!
