Free vector website template featuring a landing page and one content page

I’ve been building websites for years, but this is a first for me. I had been tossing around the idea of creating and uploading some vector website templates to various microstock websites, and this was the first one I made. Talk about a frustrating experience! I’m not a vector artist by any means – my strength is squarely on 3d illustration and Photoshop, and I find illustrator to be extremely limiting to my workflow. I like visually intense images, and I don’t have the skill to do that in vector format. But I’m forcing myself to learn, and this website template was definitley a learning experience. However, I’m not happy with the way it turned out, so I will not be uploading it anywhere but here. Yep, even though it’s a freebie, I’m not sure how much value it really has. As a web designer myself, I don’t really like the look of a “vectorized” template. I just looks…stiff. I need to keep practicing…

Anyway, this is just a simple black and silver two-page template. The homepage has a large feature area (above the fold), with a simple block for quick links and short amounts of text. The interior page extends that block to fill the entire space. Note: this file is in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) CS3 format.

Five fully editable PSD website banners

June 16th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Free Website Elements

five website banners in Adobe Photoshop (psd) format

Most people probably don’t know this, but my bread and butter is website design. That’s what I spend the most of my time doing, and I have a full list of great clients who keep me very busy. And like any other busy web designer, I’ve got my fair share of web templates and website elements that never made it to final production. Case in point: these five website banners. They were part of a large collection of concepts I made for a client a while back, and these are the rejects. Shame to let them go to waste, right?

Feel free to download and use however you wish. They are all fully editable (requires Adobe Photoshop).
