What we're about
ForwardSlash Templates is all about amazing designs for amazing prices. Our focus is on providing premium website templates and themes from the best designers across the world, for you to choose from for your business or personal use. We know how difficult it is to pick the right design as a buyer, and we also know how difficult it can be to sell your designs as a designer. So we have developed a unique marketplace where customers can purchase templates knowing that they are getting the best products for the best prices. And designers can sell knowing that they are receiving full recognition and the earnings they deserve for their creations.
How are we different?
There are many aspects that set ForwardSlash Templates apart from other template selling websites. First of all we believe in the ‘KISS’ (Keep It Simple Stupid) method. Because of this we select templates that are developed with usability in mind for both beginners and advanced users. We like templates that are easy to customised and designed using the correct web standards.
Our templates are highly competitive in terms of price, ranging from $10 - $50. We also regularly hold special event sales where buyers can get a further discount on listed prices.
We manually assess each template uploaded by our designers against our template criteria to assure that each one is developed to high standards.. We assess each template on key factors such as usability, design, typography, ease of customisation and more.
How did ForwardSlash Templates come about?
The first version of ForwardSlash Templates officially launched back in August 2009. Initially showcasing HTML, CSS, Photoshop and Flash templates designed by FST’s in-house designers. After months of promoting and marketing the website began to gather steam and slowly grew in popularity and demand.
Towards the end of 2009 we decided to re-brand and redevelop a whole new website based on our existing ideas and goals. We wanted other designers and small business to have the opportunity to be able to make money from their own un-used website designs, which would probably have never been used. These designs may be perfect for another individual or business out there!
After months of designing, coding and developing, the new ForwardSlash Templates marketplace for website templates was officially launched in August 2010.
