After having redesigned several websites from all over the Internet the guys from TemplateMonster decided to make some improvements for their own design.

The first change is the navigation bar. All of our products are now divided into general types – “Web Templates”, “CMS & Blog Templates”, “E-Commerce Templates” and “Corporate Identity”. Within each of these general types there are also smaller subtypes like “Flash Templates” and “SWiSH Templates” within the general type of “Web Templates”; and similarly ZenCart or CRE Loaded within “E-Commerce Templates”.

The second change is a NEW, and we think brilliant search form that allows you to search our database not only by a single parameter but also by checking several parameters at one time - for example by choosing several categories that you are interested in. All of these new features are for the convenience of our customers.

Every good thing has its end. Yes, life can be very cruel - we all know it. Even the best and brightest things, like the TemplateMonster Anniversary Lottery, must come to an end. It’s over – sad but true. The lottery is over.

But for the lucky ones that won our Golden Gift Certificate – today is for celebration! This certificate gives them the right to choose any of the templates in our database absolutely FREE! We do not know which products will be chosen but we do know that the winners will have many, many templates to choose from.

After the random selection several winners were chosen. We have contacted them and here is something for you to know about those newly-born Internet celebrities:

1. Marian Turba - a web developer. Here’s a part from his first interview: “As I’m not a graphic designer I buy templates either from Internet or cooperate with graphic designers”. Later we will post more of his impressions because now he is a little short of words because of his happiness
2. Cauã Rabbering, a 27 year-old medical student from The Netherlands. His small interview is also coming up soon.

3. Christal Scholl, Quality Systems Management Consultant (Memphis, TN).

TIP: For those who do not know what we are talking about: A few days ago TemplateMonster celebrated its Fifth Anniversary and among other celebration events we conducted the Anniversary Lottery. Everyone who subscribed to our newsletter, from the time after the Lottery was announced until the time of the Lottery drawing, was allowed to enter as a participant and possible winner of the Golden Gift Certificate. The Golden Gift Certificate is redeemable for any single template of choice Free of charge.

TemplateMonster is already 5 years old! Time flies when you are having fun. We have taken a moment to celebrate our anniversary as well as remember our considerable accomplishments over the last five years. The TemplateMonster team is proud of everything we have achieved. We have developed almost 15,000 templates of high quality and offered them at very reasonable prices. We continue to add about 15 new designs to our collection every day! The Affiliate Program offered by TemplateMonster is one of the most popular on the Internet and unites our many productive affiliate program members! Template Monster is still growing too.

For the company’s Fifth birthday the TemplateMonster team has decided to remind our customers of our beginning and of our impressive journey to where we have arrived. So we gathered a great Retro Collection of our first and earliest website template designs! This Retro-Collection is shown as an awesome presentation, and you will be able to buy any of our best retro-templates for a VERY reasonable price!

And you will also have a chance to win our Golden Gift Certificate and choose any webpage template from TemplateMonster absolutely FREE of charge! To enter the Anniversary Lottery all you need to do is to subscribe to the newsletter by entering your email in the proper field and checking the “participate in the lottery” box. The rest is a matter of luck because the winner will be selected by our system randomly.

Good luck and enjoy your visit at TemplateMonster’s Anniversary!

Life has its ups and downs, but today Template Monster has a definite up. In an article appearing in the Daily Herald Template Monster was mentioned as the starting place if you want to build your own website.

Jim Kendall wrote the article for the Daily Herald with quotes by Chris Kontos, a website owner and Kiki Stamatiou. Stamatiou is a designer and website developer with a strong interest in search engine optimization (SEO). Stamatiou goes on to quote the charges for her various services, ” . . . $200 initial fee and $95 a month to a one-time $6,000 hit that comes with a Top 10 listing guarantee . . .”

Jim Kendall goes on to the very best part, ” If you want to create your own site, Stamatiou suggests a visit to www.templatemonster.com. You’ll find thousands of low-cost web site templates.” We could not agree more with Stamatiou.

Being well known has its advantages and we are happy things went in our direction today. This may seem like minor headlines, but we appreciate this kind of recognition every time we get it. We thank Kim Kendall and Kiki Stamatiou for remembering us and our products and services.

When we get our Template Monster banner on the surface of the Moon and our very own NBA team you will here about that news too!!!!!!!

Our Dynamic Flash Gallery is essentially a Flash-based site with a CMS (Content Management System) image gallery already integrated into the website. This means that it is very convenient to update or change pictures and texts without the need for HTML code or a webmaster – so an amateur can update the site him/her self.

Dynamic Flash Gallery has the Gallery section integrated into each of its subpages. The Gallery can be modified by an amateur with his/her own PIN by way of an admin panel. These pages are compiled into an ordinary SWF file (again edited through the admin panel). This means you must use a hosting provider supports PHP, allowing the site owner amateur to update all the content pictures and texts. All the texts of the website are edited from a .TXT file just like texts in any other Flash site.

Another great feature about the Dynamic Flash Gallery is that the owner may choose the layout of his/her gallery from four beautiful variations design varieties. Settings are also available for setting the sizes of the small and large views of each image as well as the accompanying texts and title for each image, and more.

See it work at Dynamic Flash Photo Gallery Presentation.
