Things are heating up here at Zibster as July is upon us. We’ve just launched SEO GO and it’s off like gangbusters. This summer showcase of 7 brilliant new templates is a sure fit for almost any small business.
Is an exotic destination part of your vacation plans? Our new Summit Avenue template is paired with a travel agency theme to really show it off. Check out the huge opening banner that frames the logo in the center (a transparent PNG works best).
Summit Avenue has all the modern features we’ve come to expect: prominent social media icons – check! Simple, direct navigation – check! Graceful parallax scrolling – check! Big, open windows for content – check! You’ll love your trip if you find Summit Avenue to your liking.
Or maybe you will find that O’Henry Boulevard is more your cup of tea. It opens to a full frame window with transparent navigation and logo at the top that always remains in place as the page is scrolled down. Further scrolling reveals alternating fields of color with text and large images to create a powerful presentation.
If your small business is best represented with bold, high rez photos like the fine dining restaurant shown here, then O’Henry Boulevard may be just what you are hungry for. Bon appétit!
The Wendover Avenue template was developed with realtors in mind where location means everything. The ‘user experience’ was at the top of the list when this was designed. In an industry where contact is at a premium, it is important to have clear navigation and easily accessible social media links.
Real Estate is another industry where images play a big part in the business. Opening the CURRENT LISTINGS page shows that Wendover Avenue has full frame capability as well as grid layout photos and text. Realtors’ requirements can be fairly demanding, but we think Wendover Avenue more than delivers.
Good template design is much more than merely stacking up elements. With Smith Street, we have taken care to balance the page and offer lots of options. For a floral designer, variety is a key ingredient.
The HOME page opens with the very popular ‘Pinterest’ style stacked grid with narrow borders. Tinted window rollovers add an elegant touch of refinement to the gallery. On the other hand, the DESIGN page takes a more business oriented approach. As you look at the different pages you will see a big a difference between a grid that is four wide as apposed to a three wide grid.
You’ll get a kick out of the Swing Street template with its modern, minimalist design. Strong borders are perfectly proportioned to work with even bolder images. The logo and navigation are anchored in place so that they are always visible. The navigation color can be selected to work with any logo color.
A dance academy seems to work well to illustrate the strength of this design. Because of the nature of open designs, Swing Street displays especially well on mobile devices. If this is part of your consideration for your business, then jump right onto it.
Every batch of new templates from Zibster will have at least one edgier design, and for this summer, it’s Fisher Avenue. With the logo fixed at the top left corner and the navigation anchored to the bottom of the page, what do you get in between? Just the biggest area for video as anyone in the industry, that’s what!
For a videography company, Fisher Street would be a no brainer, but like any other cutting edge design, this is not meant for everyone. Below the video the layout is fairly typical. The supporting pages are also pretty straight forward too. So if giant video is for you, then Fisher Street is what you want.
Last, and certainly not least, is Mendenhall Street. This template shares many of the same attributes as Smith Street, but with a few subtle differences. The social media icons are embedded into a narrow band of color at the top of the page and repeated again at the bottom.
Here we are using an event planner as an example for this template. The broad exterior borders, paired with narrow interior borders give it an air of formality and elegance. The subtle colors and somewhat old fashioned font selected gives the site a sense of trust, something that is essential to an event planner.
Don’t see your particular business represented in our new templates? Just keep in mind that ALL Zibster templates have hundreds of fonts to choose from, almost infinite color choices, multiple layout options, and many other custom features to make your site uniquely yours.
