templates
MISSISSAUGA, ON, and FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, Sept. 19 /CNW/ - Template Rover, a division of Hostopia.com, Inc. (TSX: H), today announced the launch of the Template Rover Club, a membership program designed to provide discounted pricing for repeat purchasers of website templates and services. For only $99 annually, website design firms and professionals can access thousands of advanced website templates for use in site design. Club members will be able to download up to 20 templates per month, and will also receive exclusive discounts on new templates and other services, such as website design.
Hostopia's CEO, Colin Campbell states, "With the increasing reliance on website templates by web design firms and professionals, we saw demand for a rich supply of compelling template designs, at more favorable pricing, to repeat purchasers. The Club membership concept rewards repeat purchasers of Template Rover templates. Prior to the Club introduction, template prices were competitively priced between $39 and $59 per template. Now, Club members have access to thousands of archived templates for one nominal annual fee. It is an extraordinary value for anyone requiring more than just two templates a year."
Template Rover has developed a library of 5,000 high-quality website templates fully indexed and searchable by industry vertical categories and graphics type for easy browsing and access. All templates can be fully customized once downloaded into popular web-editing applications. Templates are typically utilized by end users as full websites or as initial design concepts for designers when working on layout ideas with clients. Template Rover also offers bundled pricing for hosting service providers that wish to include templates in their hosting packages. More information can be obtained at www.TemplateRover.com.
