Page 2: Custom XSite Pro Templates

The above real estate template is rich and luxurious, reminiscent of the homes this Century 21© agent sells in Oakland and Macomb counties. Notice how the footer reflects the header, but doesn't try to replicate it. We left plenty of room on the footer for more navigation links, as the client has lots of content to add.

The above template gets its impact from one great image from an inexpensive stock photo site.

The above template is clean and classy. The photo is actually a slideshow containg a number of industry-related photos. You can get a $7 report on how to do this: How to Add a Slideshow to Your XSitePro Web Site (the code is included).

The above template is for a hosting company that caters to XSitePro users.

The above template was based on a stock Web template the client gave me to work with. Among other adaptations I needed to make, I also redesigned the client's logo to work better with the template.

The above template uses stock photos, an interesting font, rounded corners and bevelling to add interest and a modern look. Many affiliate/review sites look ugly and homemade. This one is very professional. How do you want YOUR affiliate/review sites to be perceived?

The above template uses some great stock photos in the header and one of a blueprint that is repeated in the background. I don't often use background images, but sometimes the right subtle image can add a really nice element to a template. The background should complement the design, but not hold centre stage or distract from the content.

The above template uses a triple "swoop" design to represent the idea of stress management or stress reduction. The colours are corporate blue and grey and we used a soft grey Web 2.0 gradient for the top navigation and the footer. We also created the boxes used for the left navigation and for text. The client could use one of the boxes for an opt-in form.

The above template uses several stock photos blended together to form a collage of this company's typical wireless clients. It's difficult to see in the sample above, but the dark areas of the template are composed of "scan lines," not a solid colour. This technique gives this template a technical look.

The above template is modern and stylish with a Web 2.0 flavour.

The above template uses a similar design to the previous template, but believe it or not this is an XSitePro V1 template! Anything is possible... well, almost anything!

The above template has the fresh colours, round corners and bold, rounded font of many Web 2.0 Web sites. It's yummy!

The above XSitePro V2 template uses a single powerful image that echoes the client's favourite meditation. Design Tip: A slice of the image is repeated in the footer. The rounded edges give a nice, natural feel to the site. We used the client's logo and title on a white background. This way it stands out cleanly from the rest of the Web site and doesn't impede the impact of the stock photo.
