At its birth several years ago, BasicTemplates.com
was one of the first two Web
Template Membership sites and is still today
the only Web Template Membership site
that develops their templates with the concept of External
CSS (cascading style sheets) and swap-out (interchangeable)
graphics for easy editing, quick and cost effective
theme changes, quick cosmetic changes to a website,
and just as important ... effective website design.
Their templates do not use unnecessary, excessive graphics
that weighs down a page and causes visitors to leave.
BasicTemplates.com has
always touted that web design should not be confused
with graphic design. These two elements do go hand-in-hand
to some degree, but to have an effective website, you
must step out of the graphics box which you have been
boxed into and away from the egotistical idea that
excessive,
pretty graphics and flashy page elements will attract
people to your website. These "graphic design" elements
will hurt your website's effectiveness more than it
will help. This is one of the most misunderstood
concepts of web design today. Because of their innovative
service, BasicTemplates.com
has quickly become 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, Bravenet, Tucows, Practical Web Pages magazine
and .NET Magazine.
Here is just a small list of the other many benefits
and advantages you receive when subscribing to a
BasicTemplates.com
membership. • The 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 and swap-out graphics 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.
• 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 base to build upon. Experienced designers
find BasicTemplates to be a huge time-saver; thus cutting
their costs which they can pass onto their clients if
they wish.
• You are permitted to use them on your clients
sites if you are a county licensed 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 may 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. 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 you don't need or might need to add.
• Free tech support in relationship to their designs
is provided. All tech support personnel are the actual
template designers and all were born and are located
within the USA. They do not outsource their tech support
to foreign customer service companies that have never
used their product or service.
• Many unadvertised freebies such as generic web
form templates, 404 error page templates, thank you
page templates, buttons, icons, page accents, 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 by sharing ideas with
you on how to make your site work for you and not against
you. These articles are written by BasicTemplates.com's
template designers who are qualified, professional designers
in the web development business since 1994 and suzimgs/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.
• All of BasicTemplates.com's
designs were developed by BasicTemplates.com's
designers who have a vested interest in the company's
success. You will not find and stolen or illegally resold
designs in their collection to get you into legal trouble
if you use them. All of BasicTemplates.com's designers
were born and live within the USA. Any third party stock
photography used is licensed appropriately and used
within their templates according to the legal licensing
agreements.
• Free syndicated web page content is available
for anyone who wants to offer tutorials to their site
visitors.
• 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!
