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.
