Template Details: Colourstorm

Grab Your Visitors with Colour!

This lush PageKit features vibrant, eye-popping imagery and a slick, modern design to create a look that holds your attention. Perfect for a designer showcase site, or for any site where visual appeal is paramount. This template not only looks great - you'll love how easy it is to use, thanks to the simple layout.

This template's fixed-width layout centres the 770-pixel-wide page body in the browser window. This ensures that the design looks consistent across all screen sizes.

Simple to Edit

All the text on the page is simply HTML text, so you don't need a graphics editor to change the headings or menu for example. Just open the page up in your favourite Web page editor (FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc.), select the old text and replace it with your own.

The template's HTML code was built by hand to ensure maximum compatibility across Web browsers and editors, and is well laid-out and fully commented for ease of maintenance.

Fully Web Standards Compliant

Colourstorm uses CSS positioning for layout and conforms to the XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS level 2 W3C standards. This ensures a high level of compatibility with today's and tomorrow's browsers.

Easy-to-Use Layout

The PageKit's home page template features a main text column for introducing the site, and a sidebar for promotions, news or any other important information.

Use the inner page template to build the other pages of your site. The simple layout - main content on the left, sidebar on the right - gives you a lot of flexibility.

All content areas are stretchable vertically, ensuring that the Colourstorm template can accommodate as much content as you can throw at it.

Suggested Applications

Colourstorm is perfect if you're a designer needing to showcase your work. You'll also love it if you're after a colourful, vibrant and eye-catching site design that's simple to use.

Fast Load Time

The estimated load time of the home page on a 56K modem is 10 seconds. The page is built using CSS positioning rather than a tables-based layout, which results in a much faster and smoother load of the page, and better compatibility with modern browsers. It also improves accessibility, enhancing the browsing experience for text-only browsers and screen readers.
