These Free Web Templates Will Help You Build an XHTML+CSS Web Site

Use these free Web templates to create valid XHTML documents using CSS instead of tables. If you don’t want to learn to write CSS layouts, you can still create valid XHTML using free Web templates. The newest are listed first.

  • 3-Column with Header and Footer Layout
    Once you have a 3 column layout, you will probably want to put a header and footer on it. This template makes it easy.
  • Better 3 Column Layout
    There are many ways to do a 3-column layout using CSS and XHTML, but this one is one of the better ways to get 3 columns on your Web page without a lot of headache or trouble. And this 3-column template works in both IE and Mozilla (Netscape) browsers.
  • 3 Column Layout with Footer
    Once you have 3 columns on your Web page, getting the footer to display below all three columns can also be a pain. zSB(3,3);if(!z336){var zIsb=gEI(“adsb”);if(zIsb){zIsb.style.display=”inline”;zIsb.style.height=”0px”;zIsb.style.width=”0px”;}var zIss=gEI(“adss”);if(zIss){zIss.style.display=”inline”;zIss.style.height=”0px”;zIss.style.width=”0px”;}}
  • Fake Frames Layout
    While I don’t recommend using this to replace frames, this is a good template for learning how the overflow property works.
  • Three Column Top Layer Layout
    The three column layout is very difficult to do in CSS, but it is possible. And this variation adds a top layer.
  • Top Square Navigation Layout
    I got the idea for this simple layout from a forum I was reading, where the writer wanted the text in the layout to wrap around the navigation box. I just thought it might look nice.
  • Wrap Text Around an Image Layout
    An interesting effect in print is the ability to wrap text around an image so that it follows the contours of the image. With this CSS trick, you can mimic this effect on your Web site.
  • Brown Crossbar Layout
    This Web site layout was suggested to me by Marcia, the Bipolar Disorder Guide at About – it uses three divs to create a cross in the upper left of the page with the main content held below it.
  • Photo Gallery Layout
    This layout provides a simple way to layout a thumbnail photo gallery. It includes JavaScript to create the secondary pages.
  • Form Layout
    This layout shows you one way to display a form using valid XHTML and no tables.
  • Left Navigation Top Header with Photo and Colors
    This layout takes it’s look and feel from a photo of an iris from my garden. The layout can be used for a photo page, or an ecommerce site product detail page, or just with a decorative photo as my example displays.
  • Floating Navigation Box
    When you don’t have a lot of navigation links, sometimes all you need is a box at the top of your pages with the navigation in there. This box floats to the right or left and the text in the main area flows around it.
  • Top and Bottom Rows
    Sometimes all you want is branding at the top and contact/copyright information at the bottom.
  • Two Column with Top Branding Layer
    This layout adds to the basic two column layout by adding a top row for branding and global navigation information.
  • Three Column Layout
    Similar to a newspaper, this three column layout features fixed width columns on the right and left with a variable width center column for your main content.
  • Two Column Layout
    This is a very basic layout, with two columns. The left is fixed width and the right is the rest of the window space.
  • Centered Single Column Layout
    This is a very basic layout, with the content centered on the page in an 80% wide column. Usually the page itself is a different background color, with the content surrounded by a border. For this template, I chose to make the main page color grey with a black border.
