Website Templates

Here are some free open source templates that you can use for your website.   These layouts are ideal for people who need to put together a website quickly and anyone who is learning HTML and CSS.  You are free to modify the templates as you wish.

Daffodils – 1 Column Layout

This is a simple single column fixed-width theme containing a header image of daffodils.  The navigation is contained within a horizontal bar located between the header image and the page content.  The HTML validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict and the CSS is also valid according to the W3C Validator.  The layout has been successfully tested in all major browsers.

3 Column Layout with Links at the Side

This is a 3-column fixed-width theme containing a CSS3 gradient header.  The navigation is contained within a vertical sidebar on the left-hand side of the page.  The HTML validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict according to the W3C Validator.  The layout has been successfully tested in all major browsers.  The gradient header works on most current browsers with the exception of Opera. However, it degrades gracefully, meaning that if gradients aren’t supported by the user’s browser, a solid background colour will be used instead.

The menu is on the left, and you can use the extra column on the right-hand side for news updates etc.
