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.

Tweet! Free vector Twitter bird in .eps format

Ok, I’m not much of a vector artist, but here is a recent illustration I made of a blue Twitter bird holding a mobile phone. You may or not have noticed, but it’s the graphic that I’m using to link to my own Twitter account at the bottom of the far right hand column of this site. It’s in .eps format (Adobe Illustrator CS3) – but let me know if you’d like it saved in a different version.
