Master List of Free CSS/XHTML Layouts

There is an almost unlimited number of free CSS layouts available these days across the web, so instead of going for quantity, I will be concentrating more on quality for the new additions to this list. As it stands, the free CSS layouts here range from the ugly & hideous to clean & professional.

Occasionally, even the lame layouts can serve as a starting point for much better-looking websites. Some of the better CSS layouts need very little in the way of improvements. I marked with an asterisk (*) the sources of what, to me, seem to be the better resources for free CSS/XHTML layouts.

Of course, this is purely a matter of taste. I tend to favor clean layouts with plenty of whitespace and no distracting motion. Also, the better CSS layouts tend to include a wide range of styles, and sometimes they include CSS web form designs and multiple pages or variations on the theme(s).

There may be some overlap, as some of the free CSS layout sources below are mega-providers -- such as FreeCSSTemplates.org and OSWD -- which include CSS layouts created by a wide range of designers. Other sources are direct links to the designers themselves. The designer resources -- such as Andreas Viklund and Solucija -- tend to be the best resources for quality CSS layouts.

Free-CSS.com

Free-CSS.com is another mega provider of free CSS templates and layouts. At the time of this writing in early 2010, they had 109 pages with 12 layouts to a page. They have some other categories of interest apart from Free CSS Templates. They also have Free CSS Layouts, Free CSS Menus, Free CSS Tutorials, Free CSS Articles, Free CSS Gallery, Free CSS Reference, and Free CSS Resources Since these come from different designers, there is some overlap of the CSS templates here in this section and those in other sections of our free CSS templates and layouts.

Free CSS Templates

Most of these are no good in my opinion because they consist mostly of graphics. The PSDs are included in most cases - freecsstemplates.com.

  1. business :: graphics
  2. event planner :: graphics
  3. hosting :: graphics
  4. internet :: graphics
  5. internetbroadcast-middot* :: 2-4col, toptabs, lots of content - R. Goblet

Template World

Although most of the CSS templates from Template World look very nice, I rarely use them because they contain too many graphics. With many of our web design clients being on a tight budget, there is simply not enough time to do all the graphic design work that would be necessary to create images to replace those already in these templates. These templates would be best for web design jobs that budget plenty of time for graphic design.
