"Demand for pre-built Web sites is surging as small businesses and professional Web site designers seek to create superior business Web sites with less effort," says Paul D. Engels, Hostopia's chief marketing officer. "Hosting providers can fill this demand, but only if they source a reliable supply of compelling templates with attractive licensing terms. Hostopia meets this need."
The Web site templates licensed by Hostopia are based on industry standard protocols to be fully compatible with development tools such as Namo WebEditor 2006 Suite, Adobe Photoshop 6+, Macromedia Flash MX+, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, FrontPage 2003+, or any other HTML editor. File formats supported include PSD, HTML, SWF and FLA as well as non-flash versions.
Hostopia and Hostgator say that over 2,500 templates are included under a fully-paid license with an option to add additional site templates plus OS commerce designs. Meanwhile, Hostgator CEO Brent Oxley says that the company's marketing plans for the templates are currently being developed and clients can expect to see them within 90 days.
