OpenDesigns.org - Design Websites and Share Ideas

Are you looking to design a website but are unsure of where to find quality templates? Are you interested in being involved in a forum where others discuss web design openly, sharing opinions amongst each other? If you have answered yes, than Open Designs is definitely something you should check out. Boasting its community mission, Open Designs prides itself on being a free template and web design idea sharing site amongst users, designers and application developers. Those involved can also promote themselves and their work on Open Designs and can keep track of the latest news, which is always updated and is located on an easily accessible panel. The latest designs and posts are featured on the homepage so that users can easily access everything offered on Open Designs fast and efficiently.

"The Open Design Community (TODC) is a group of Open Source Website Designers from around the world providing thousands of XHTML and CSS based free web design templates available for download. The main goal of TODC is helping to make the internet a prettier place."

Open Designs promotes its community approach to web design and it truly follows through with connecting designers and users together in a collective environment. You can easily get answers to your questions about web design and can steal ideas from others with their permission. On another note, for a website that advertises web design, I believe that it could have a more attractive design itself with a more desirable color combination.

How can Open Designs upgrade their website to make it more appealing? How successful is the network created between novices and professionals in creating web designs?
