It has never been quicker or easier to design a high quality website with both form and function. Thanks to the myriad of free (or very affordable) design templates available for download, and to the wonderful designers who have made them available, you can have a professional looking website ready and working in hours rather than weeks.

Increasingly CSS and HTML/XHTML templates (wiki) are including e-commerce functionality. This is perfect for people who intend to offer products through their website, but don’t have the expertise to design their own shopping cart or checkout function.

Web design templates allow us to get our website ready for the world much faster than would be possible if we had created it from scratch. And because the best templates were created by experienced designers, you can be sure that the esthetic appeal and functionality will be top notch.

Finding free high quality design templates can be like finding a needle in a haystack at times, as it seems everyone who has ever aspired to be a web designer is offering content.

To save you a lot of time and get you up and running quickly, we have compiled a list of our 21 favorite web design templates. Be sure to share this list with your friends and colleagues!

I find silhouette photography to be incredibly intriguing. It can be utilized in such a way that an interest generating subject is in silhouette (wiki), offering a sense of mystery and adding to viewer engagement. Or it can be done so that the majority of the subject matter is completely back lit and in silhouette. This latter case offers a very different look at an everyday subject.

The photographers of Warmpicture are always uploading exciting images, so I decided to run an image search in the database using the keyword “silhouette.” There were some spectacular results! I compiled my 11 favorites to inspire your future work, and also lend you ideas for your graphic design projects.

If you are looking for a good primer on silhouette photography, check out our post on shooting silhouettes of people.
