Website template #04 "Bob The Builder"

These website templates are designed with SBI members in mind. They have been setup with SBI proprietary include tags and files, and come with instructions on how to use them with SBI. This does not preclude using them with other webhosts. If you wish to do that, then you can easily change all SBI includes to the standard virtual include tags, for ease of use with other webhosts.

You can download a fullsize image of this design, when you vist the link above. It is also possible to subscribe to that image folder, so you will be able to be notified via RSS, when new designs are added.

Template: Fixed width, 960px.

Most suitable for a building or construction niche. faded graph paper in the background gives this a "techy" feel. When I created this design, I wanted to use a combination of straight edges and curves. I also wanted to give the design some depth, and a 3 dimensional feel. If you want to appreciate that depth, then I recommend you download the full sized image and take a close look at it (around 220kb).

The header contains 2 iStock images, that depict a general builder type feel to the site. If you wish to use these images, then they will be purchased from iStock and placed in the template for you. If you wish to find other images, and supply them, I will place your images into the template.

This is a unique design, blending a traditional 3 column layout with a combination of clean angular lines and flowing curves. As with the vast majoriy of my designs, I use a dark font on a light background - certainly the easiest color combination to read.

Customized for your needs, before you received the files

*Add site name, or other text to the header
*Add the byline, or sub-heading
*Give me your rss code, and I will put this into the layout shown in the image
*5 complimentary "customer testamonials" that you can place anywhere you want (you must supply the text for these)
*If you wish to supply different images for the header, give these to me, and I will add them for you.
*Header images replaced, if required

Template Features

The box, top right of the header, contains user modifiable text. So you can add whatever text you like, it is NOT part of the header image.

There is a full width rounded edge box, that you can add content and images to, as well as two 1/2 width rounded edge boxes (solid color). Great for content that you need to draw attention to.

Thoughts on this template

I really do like this design. I have a simple philosophy when creating a design for customers. And that is, I will never supply anyone with a design that I wouldn't be proud to use myself (if I were in that niche). This particlar one is no exception to that rule: it ticks all the boxes for me.....
  • one of a kind, your competitors will NOT have something similar!
  • Modifiable header text is great for business name, contact details, ph number etc
  • testamonials are a must for businesses, IMO. You get 5 complimentary testamonial images
  • The RSS and bookmarking is at the bottom of the page. Which is a better position than the left column, IMO
  • Slimline header gives more room for content above the fold
