It has become obscenely easy to create a professional looking website.
When my first site went up in 1995, I started from scratch. The concept of a template simply didn’t exist.
Nowadays, you can put up a nice looking site by filling out a form that publishes your content into a pre-built template. My customers do just that at my Northwest Arkansas Info site.
However, you who want to build a website that you have full control of can also take advantage of prebuilt templates.
The problem is that people want to SELL them to you.
Today’s FamilyFirst pick is called Open Designs. It’s an open-source community that pro0vides you with some seriously high-quality website templates for FREE!
Here’s their mission:
The Open Design Community (TODC) is a group of Open Source Website Designers providing hundreds of XHTML and CSS based free web design templates available for download.The main goal of TODC is helping to make the internet a prettier place.
I am blown away by the high-quality work here that is available free of charge! Pop in and see for yourself.
