Open Designs is now over one year old, and we have 900 free designs. This is hardly a fledgling community anymore. We have over 3600 registered users, about 100 of whom check in to the forum on a regular basis. The forum is more active than ever, with so many people around to contribute. We have had a great first year, and with a team effort, our second year will be even better!
Together with our hosting sponsor OpenReaction Hosting Solutions, Inc. We are proud to announce an exciting design contest. Check out the forum for more details.
As August comes to a close, Open Designs now has 713 free website templates for your downloading pleasure.
Soon we’ll be at 800 and maybe my the end of the year we will actually hit 1,000 quality open source web site designs.
Thank you to our members, users, designers, moderators and the admin team for continuing the great open spirit of open source web designs.
Keep up the great work!
