Web Templates

Welcome to Web Template Zips, your source of standards-compliant, simple, free web templates. These templates are designed to make it easy for you to build a web site from scratch or refresh the look of your existing website.

We use a style sheet to control the visual appearance and layout of the template so it is easy to make changes to dimensions and color schemes.

Aspects of your website that don't change much between pages such as the header and footer are contained in separate files. So it is easy to make site-wide changes to the theme and non-content areas.

PHP scripting is used to dynamically alter the title and heading for each page of your site.

PHP is a scripting language supported by most web hosts.

Learn PHP, CSS and HTML

Our templates contain neatly formatted code that is easy to follow and tweak to suit your needs. As a beginner web master, you can quickly learn the basics of how to build a website with our templates.

Basic tutorials on HTML, CSS and PHP are provided to quickly get you up to speed with these important skills required for web development.

HTML is the code that tells the web browser what to display, CSS is the code that tells the web browser what colors and sizes to use for the web page elements and PHP is code that is invisible to the web browser but generates output dynamically.

Another important scripting language is Javascript which may be used in some templates.

Keeping It Simple

Rather than having a bunch of fancy graphics and Flash, our approach is to keep things simple with lean code and fast loading pages. Also, this approach works well for search engine optimization.

Search engines read text and don't scan images, so they only know what an image represents via the "alt" tag or the name of the image file. So text is most important for on-page factors when optimizing a web site for search engine ranking.
