1. What are the advantages of purchasing a website template?
The major advantage is price: A custom designed full flash site would cost you anywhere between $500- $4000, while using templates you can get the same professional result at fraction of that cost ($50-$60 is a regular Flash template price). Second advantage is time: it only takes one week for a good designer to produce a web page of such quality.

We recommend you to purchase images from http://www.gettyimages.com.

 TOP

20. Is it possible to use your templates to develop websites for my customers?
Yes. It is perfect for designers who want to offer their customers a high-quality design and also save time and money if you purchase the template with exclusive license. Mind that when you purchase the template with ordinary license you're entitled to create only one project (one domain name).

 TOP

21. Can I put low resolution thumbnails of templates on my website for my clients to choose designs?
Yes, of course.

 TOP

22. Some of your Flash templates load slowly. Is there a way to solve this problem?
As you see, to get a better effect, the templates use a lot of bitmaps, but the better the effect, the bigger the size and the slower the load speed. That is why our customers always wait a long time before viewing some of the templates. To solve this problem, you can try to select other Flash templates with same designing but a comparatively smaller size. For that the template we provided to you is just a style and any of contents can be modified to match you needs. If you really like this one but worry about the load speed, we can customize it for you or you can also do it yourself, such as decrease the quantity of bitmaps used in the templates or use loadMovie function to load external bitmaps, and another way is to modify the particle effect which uses more than ten bitmaps, some are even up to 100. For this, I recommend changing them into vector animation. You should experiment with finding the optimal balance between template effect and file size by using these methods.
