More Custom XSite Pro Templates

Nicky Jameson, copywriter, wanted a template that said "I deliver results." We gave her that with a professional design and a "targeted" header. The rounded corners limit the background colour to white, but with such a strong design, a plain white background is just fine.

The above template was designed for an online directory requiring a serious, but not somber look. Notice the navigation. I chose not to use XSite Pro's default bold text and I also added a square dot in front of the links for a "directory" look. Also, like the previous template, this is an example of using a black-and-white border and a dark grey background to make the page stand out. I have included a little of the grey background here to show you the effect.

The above template is actually a 100% fluid design. When viewed online, you will see that the background to the header extends across the full browser window.

The above template incorporates Google AdSense (notice the eye-catching strip of images above the AdSense) and a mailing list opt-in box.

The above is a simple, sales-letter-type template with top navigation. (Yes, we can do top navigation in XSite Pro, but it has to be maintained manually.) The soft blue is restful and yet gives a solid feeling of trustworthiness

The above template uses a high-impact style suitable for the male market. Using blue as the predominant colour ensures that the site appears trustworthy. The graphics are crisp and clean and integrate well into the design.

The above template shows how professional an affililate Web site can look with a super header and professional design. There are three stock photos in the header that cost about $1.00 each! I replaced the text in the sign on the far left image with "Online Guide to Forex Trading." This kind of thing can be done if you have even a simple graphics program. The two images on the left are faded into one another, a nice effect as long as you don't overdo it. Overdoing effects is the sign of an amateur Web designer! Keep your header crisp and clean!

The above template was created for the main pages of www.theDepot.ca. A second template was created for the ad listings pages, as they had to be uploaded to a different directory and required a slightly different design (no right panel). The listings manager (real estate, vehicles and classified ads) is by www.InteractiveTools.com. While the template design is fairly straightforward, this site required some imaginative thinking to get the listings manager and two separate XSite Pro templates working together. It was a proud moment when we launched this site!

The above template was built to showcase Kiernan Station, a light industrial complex in Salida, CA. To achieve this look, we removed the Right Panel, added a table to hold the photos, and used the Page Footer to create the brown bar at the bottom. We used CSS to add thin, black lines to the Left Panel and Page Footer. These methods help to reduce the Xsite Pro look of this Web site.

The above template shows how you can "suggest" the theme of your site rather than "showing" it. We could have chosen photos of happy, energetic women, but the photo of the red purse and computer mouse says it all: there's money to be made marketing to women online. As a result our template is very clean, professional and classy! The orange/red colour theme adds the energy level behind her business that the client wanted to convey. Picking up the dark red in the navigation links and headlines unifies the design. You can see that we decided not to colour the right or left panels. That's one way to avoid having your site look like every other XSite Pro Web Site out there. Also notice that we changed the link colour of the bottom navigation menu to the standard blue. This encourages clicking and again hides some of XSite Pro's visual footprint.

The above template was created to capture leads for a plumbing company in Portland, Oregon. It uses a 100% fluid width design. We worked closely with the client to achieve the friendly, professional look they wanted for this site.

The above template shows that an innovative design is quite possible using XSite Pro. It's hard to see it in the screen shot here, but the header actually resembles a Sedu Hair Straightener.

The above template was created for a site selling high quality t-shirts decorated with silk screened Kanji ideograms. We added several pages of content to get the owner started. He had zero HTML knowledge, but was able to successfully pick up where we left off with some minor support from us... the power of XSite Pro!
