Record High Sales!
WooWee! What a fantastic Sales Event yesterday! We had an all-time record high sales day and many new members have joined us. Many new customers who have been wanting to "try us out" are now in our massively growing database and the positive feedback just keeps pouring in. Here's just a *FEW* we received in the last week or so.
"BasicTemplates' sales are out of this world. You have raised the bar on the marketing term "over deliver"!" - Jon R., London
"I'm renewing for another year even though my membership isn't due to expire until sometime in June 2006. I simply cannot pass up your discounted prices and couldn't imagine running my web design business without your templates in my back pocket." -Rena L., California
"I'm shocked at the amount of quality graphics I received in my order for such a small fee." - Robert F., Michigan
"Thanks so much for being there for my small company. Your designs continue to wow our clients, and your support services couldn't be better." - Jessi S., Iowa
"This is crazy!! Have you guys(gals) lost your mind?! You are practically giving away what other designers charge big bucks for!" - Cherish B., Minnesota
"I'm tired of being monstrously boxed in to one design at a price my little design company can no longer afford. Competition in web design in my area is fierce. I couldn't do it without your great work. My competitors are floored by my rates and you bet, I'm keeping you guys a secret." - Awsa G., Florida
"Thank you for the follow up. Everything is going great with the templates I purchased. I was amazed at how easy they were to use. I will be back for more real soon." - Victor R., Ohio
"I am already a member, but using your sales events as my renewal. I think this purchases makes my membership good until November 2008, yes? Do I get a prize for being your best customer? {JK *G*} Keep it coming. You guys rock!" - Lucilia M., Australia
"I managed to give the website a makeover in no time at all. I’ll be back for more templates later. My other website looks so drab in comparison. I’m really impressed with the quality, speed of delivery and low price. I’ll definitely recommend you to my friends." - Kellie S., UK
"Here's my order for a membership; please add it onto my current membership. Thank you for such great prices and template designs. I plan to take advantage of each of your sales events to add more time to my membership. Hopefully, this is permitted." - Max T., Ontario
"Thanks for making templates that are actually usable in the real world and doesn't require me to have expensive web design software like Photoshop and Dreamweaver to use them. Sure I can get a low-cost template elsewhere, but when you have to have $900 worth of software to edit them, it's just plain and simple --- Duhhh! Your templates have the others beat by a long shot. I know enough about HTML and CSS code now (which I learned from using your designs) that I can edit these babies in my text editor, NoteTab Light. How's that for saving money! LOL." - Ronald B., New York
"I thought I had enough web design experience under my belt until I bought one of your templates three years ago. Now I know more than ever before and I've tripled my annual sales." - Summer L., Arizona
"My clients love the websites I've creating for them using your designs. Fortunately for me they like to talk to other merchants in their business circles and share resource information. This allowed me to more than doubled my client list in less than five months. I could never have done that without Basic Templates! By the way, florists cannot deliver to PO boxes, so where should I have them deliver flowers to your designers? I'm serious." - Viron W., Georgia
"I want to thank you--and your company--for the follow-up email. I thoroughly endorse your service for the simple reason that you understand what you offer is just that: service. How rare it is to find a company which will back a product with real (not automated) service--even when it is only a $5 product! My hearty thanks!" - Sandra H., Washington
"Yes, I am very happy with the last two templates I bought from you. as always. I think I've bought probably a dozen or more thus far and always find them easy to work with. Thanks again." - Stacy W., New Jersey
"Thank you kindly for your low licensing prices. I know you do not require that I link to your site or publish your credits, but it is the least I can do for giving me the opportunity to have a website at practically no startup cost. My little corner of the cyber world is bringing in an average of $900 a month now. Pretty nice little part-time supplement to my income and I could not have done it without the attractive template you designed." - Sigmund S., Canada
So ... Why am I telling you this? Because this type of feedback just makes us crazy here! We want to do more for you to make you even happier, if that's possible. ;)
Now here's the awesome part. More than three dozen members have pre-paid for their subscription into 2007 and some even into 2008! Smart cookies, eh? You bet; even we didn't think of suggesting that!
Since our Sales Events are open to existing members as a renewal (below the regular renewal rate), some of our members are taking advantage of each and every one by adding MORE time to their current subscription service. This "locks in" their subscription rate and they can enjoy new designs and services over the coming years without being effected by an increase in the subscription price.
Super cool. Get this ... here's a heads up to our blog readers. Our blog's one-year anniversary will be on May 28, so guess what? Ahhh ... Nope, I can't tell you, {grin} but keep your eyes on this blog for some more super cool news.
And keep the feedback like this coming and we'll keep the values coming your way! Deal?

Gateway Webpage Templates
One Gateway webpage template (#1085) was added recently.
What is a Gateway Template? Gateway is a phrase used by webmasters and search engine optimizers to describe a web page designed to attract visitors and search engines to a particular website. A typical gateway page is small, simple and highly optimized. Its primary goal is to attract visitors searching for relevant key words or phrases, and provide hyperlinks to pages within the website. Our Gateway HTML-CSS Templates are simply one HTML page with links you can edit to send traffic to external websites in your network or outside of your network. The search engine optimization coding is provided by the end user based on your own website needs.
Design Note: The image in this template is removable. Use any of our 100s of swap-out Web Graphics or your own image instead of the image shown.
