Ok, you all know that we at TemplateMonster are big fans of new and interesting design solutions. Of course there is no doubt that our osCommerce templates are beautiful but you know as they say – there are no limits for perfection. That is why we decided to do something new to them. So, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome! The first ever Flash-animated osCommerce template!
Yes, you heard that right! In this product you can have the beauty and dynamics of Flash-animated templates and the functionality of osCommerce templates – all of that in a single package. And don’t forget that this kind of product is still easy to install and manage as it has previously been. So, don’t wait and be the first to have this exclusive product from TemplateMonster!
So, here’s what it’s about. You have all probably heard of the Stock Music Mega Pack that we’ve recently launched. You know, the one containing tons of audio items meant for Flash animation. Well, one of our customers has pointed us to something we’ve missed at first during the launch. It appears to be that the Music Pack becomes way more convenient to use in case the tracks within are descriptively named. For example “effect614-cat-squeezed-in-the-door.wav” means that this is the sound effect containing the sound of a cat doing you know what (that’s what descriptive names are for). Anyways, now it’s much easier to find what you want within the pack. It’s a useful improvement, after all the Music Pack is not just a pack but a Mega pack, so you could use some navigation within.
By the way in case any of you guys who have previously purchased this Music Pack wants to exchange it for the new one (the one with the descriptive names) please feel free to address TemplateMonster support department. Just be sure to let them know your order ID so that could make sure you have really purchased the old version of Music Pack.
You thought you knew everything about our St. Patty’s promos. Well, here’s something new for you: today we release a free WordPress theme that you may use for your own blogs. The theme is so nice and green – slightly similar to TemplateMonster blog theme, maybe not so corporate though. Take a look (and don’t forget to see it all in action at the live demo):
The theme is about making money online as you see but in fact it can be used basically for any kind of blog, the design is really universal. Feel free to download the theme absolutely for free and right now! Use it for your own blog – just be sure not to resell it as well as to keep the footer link. Enjoy!
What we have for you today is the review of the most spectacular beer and brewery website designs. It’s good to know that beer brands pay so much attention to their corporate websites, that’s quite an inspiration for us – and hopefully for you too.
Please note: by reading this post you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that you are aware of the drinking responsibility. TemplateMonster along with the review listing items (breweries) below in all ways advocates the drinking awareness terms and popularizes the responsible drinking.

Budweiser
Yes, it’s the “King of Beers” that we start with! A good design with decent Flash animation – everything is nice and clear. I guess we can call this a Flash animation clean style because there’s nothing that distracts you from the product itself – it’s only the beer you can think of while looking at this website, not the design. Which is good though, beer is what Budweiser is all about.

It seems that it all starts better looking than it goes on – there’s a nice bottle-shaped Flash preloader, plus we loved the date of birth bar animation. However the main website content area is very stylish and really delivers the company’s positive message – the best thing about it is that the appetizing beer bottle image is not the main feature, it’s the people’s photos that make it all look so good. By the way, the website also offers creating the user Corona-style photo galleries, nice move.
As always no promo at TemplateMonster comes alone – this time it’s a set of three green pleasant things we bring to you. The common thing about them is that they will all last throughout almost the complete month of March 2009 – during the period of March 5th until March 23rd 2009. And they all bring a true spring inspiration and joy – that’s also a common thing.
First is the most obvious – a discount for the St. Patrick’s green Templates, you may already know this category as it has been launched during last year’s St. Patrick’s promo. Beautiful Irish fairytale-style designs are all at your service there, and during the period of March 5th until March 23rd they will be 20% cheaper than usually. Another part of a St. Patrick tradition is – yes, the BEER! And beer will from now on be a part of TemplateMonster Irish tradition as we have launched a category of Brewery Templates gathering only the most beautiful beer- and brewery-related designs – also 20% OFF! Don’t miss these two opportunities to get yourself a beautiful St. Patrick’s Day design.
But that’s not all. The third part of what we have for you is the traditional Holiday freebie – the St. Patrick’s Day Iconset giveaway. All you have to do to get it is to purchase any product from TemplateMonster during the period of March 5th until March 23rd. Hurry up!
