What’s a Web 2.0 Design?

You would have definitely come across some of these on the net. You just may not be aware of it. There are many ways to describe a Web 2.0 design and the best guide that I know of so far is Scratchmedia’s Web 2.0 How-to Design Guide. Ben listed down some of the more common features of a Web 2.0 design:

1. Simplicity
2. Central layout
3. Fewer columns
4. Separate top section
5. Solid areas of screen real-estate
6. Simple nav
7. Bold logos
8. Bigger text
9. Bold text introductions
10. Strong colours
11. Rich surfaces
12. Gradients
13. Reflections
14. Cute icons
15. Star flashes

Ben has included excellent examples of sites with these features so if you want to learn more about a Web 2.0 design, just hop over to his guide.

Free Web 2.0 Templates

Anyway, as I was saying, I was looking for some Web 2.0 templates that didn’t cost a dime and came across TemplateWorld’s free templates. I must admit that I have yet to come across templates as excellent as these and for free.

If you are reading this, chances are you are not interested in creating your own web site from scratch. And you probably don’t want to splash out big dollars just to get one. Well, the next best thing is to use templates.

Although you can use the ones at TemplateWorld, note that you need to leave a link to their site. If you’d like to remove the link than just sign up for their membership, which is not expensive at all, considering you then have access to all their templates.

Anyway, a great resource you may want to look at.
