As usual, these themes will belong to various categories, but all of them will contain something that we’ll call a feature of the month. That could be galleries (of various types), typography, cool backgrounds, creative navigation tools, etc. New month – new feature integrated in all templates that are produced during this period of time.
Today we start with Free Website Template with Slider and Expressive Typography. This template’s feature is a creative typography, so within a month from now you may also expect some other typographical design moves in our free templates. Today’s functional and stylish theme is ideal for any kind of business project you are going to start. The clean layout in pleasant green colors is intensified with expressive typography that makes the whole design concept look more effective. As you see, there is a slider in the header where you can put the required important information about your company in order to draw attention of the visitors. Professionally done, it gives you an opportunity to customize it with a minimum of fuss. You are welcome to try this free template live demo and start your successful project on its basis!

What’s negative space? That’s actually a new conformity that has gripped the design world. Negative space by definition is the space not used – the empty space within the actual space. This void is not occupied by any graphics or content, or any other design element. It’s the open space between different elements on a web page, the area between text blocks, images, columns, paragraphs, lines, letters, and words, headers, footers, and just about everything else on a website.
Negative space is not restricted to one medium – it plays an important role in all fields of design, and in web design it also goes by the name of whitespace (although not necessarily encompassing the color white; the term itself stems from the printing practice in which white paper is generally used). When website designers go about composing a layout, they focus their attention mainly on the positive space. The negative space gets very little thought being one of the most underrated and overlooked elements in website design. As some inexperienced designers concentrate heavily on what to put in, as result we have densely packed, overcrowded and taxing to comprehend layouts. Yet incorporating negative space into web designs can be very rewarding.
So What’s so Great about Negative Space?
- whitespace organizes text and graphics, provides spacing between visual items, and guides intuitively the reader’s eye from one point to another;
- doing so, it creates invisible order and enhances readability of the web page, at the same time functioning as a visual relief to the user’s eyes;
- when used intelligently, negative space strengthens the composition and serves to help define the positive space. Essentially, it helps convey the story of the positive space, leading the viewer’s attention to the main subject;
- as viewers, many users now tend to skim through web pages as oppose to scanning, negative space helps keep the layout as clutter free as possible, adding a certain level of simplicity to web design.
- designers may often generously use whitespace to create a feeling of sophisticated elegance and refinement; leaving space empty can also affect the brand positioning as it often implies that something is generally expensive and of high quality.

Spaced at regular intervals horizontal and vertical lines intersecting and forming certain patterns create a grid. This sophisticated technique originating from print design is now widely applied to web sphere for optimizing website layouts. Using certain combinations of columns, rows, margins, and gutters, a grid organizes content by holding up the elements. Don’t you ever feel certain strength inherent in a grid-based layout?
There are however many variations of grids; in spite of this designers stick to using some consistent grid systems with stable principles of proportion and balance. They can apply one grid or a fusion of grids may be applied across an entire project to achieve a consistent effect. Most web projects however are based on 4 main grid types.
- Manuscript Grid – the simplest grid consisting of a single column or an integrated block of text and imagery surrounded by margins. The architecture of this type reminds of a large rectangular area filling the space inside a format.
- Column Grid – used to create vertical zones with columns, which can be reserved for images, captions, or texts. The elements are intentionally placed on a column grid to create a certain effect.
- Modular Grid – distinctive in having consistent horizontal and vertical divisions. With modules governing the placement of elements, this type is ideal for complex projects abundant in imagery content.
- Hierarchical Grid – usually displays intuitive, spontaneous placement of elements. This is mostly an organic type with customized proportions, different column widths deliberately used to create zones with different kinds of content.
Minutely, these grid types are described in the article 4 types of grids and when each works best from VanSeoDesign, so you might be interested to check it out. Once starting a new grid-based project, you’d better try using such grid systems to help position the elements of your design on the page. Hopefully the following grid type examples will come in really handy when practicing.

As you may have heard, Google has launched the +1 button that can now be integrated to any web page. This new functionality that will allow Google profile owners to +1, share, and store their recommendations, referring what content they prefer and find most useful. Displayed publicly, +1 tool attempts to bring up more relevant search results and much likely it could have a significant impact on search rankings for websites.
And because this new button looks and seems to be acting so awesome, we’ve decided to try it in action and integrate it to TemplateMonster blog. It’s active starting today, so you’ve probably already noticed this (in case you haven’t – it’s on the right). Go ahead and try to click it 
Now back to this button. The +1 tab can appear both next to links on Google’s search results or search ads title and directly on websites across the web. Though the button was initially embedded by a number of selected publishers, now the developer’s code is made public and can be easily implemented by anyone. If you like to install the +1 button on your website, go ahead and check out the instructions from Mashable on how to add the +1 button to your WordPress site. Also, there’s a document which is intended for webmasters and programmers who want to customize the +1 button for their website.
In case you’re interested in digging deeper into this +1 thing, it is meant to stand for ‘this is pretty cool’ or ‘you should check this out.’ The button is now supported in 44 languages and renders at four heights: small (15px), medium (20px), standard (24px), and tall (65px). Here’s actually a brief video demo of what Google +1 button is:
The +1 launch is sure to start some very engaging discussions. Now the question is what our audience think of this new thingy from Google. Is this new part of Google’s social networking efforts meant to compete with Facebook’s ‘Like’ button? Do you personally like or already use this functionality? How do you think it will shape the landscape of search and affect your future Google experiences? Please share your thoughts in the comments section to this post.
The way you convey the information to your audience really matters. The crucial moment is not only the content, but also the design of your web presence.
