New Template EDGE Soon

With development of the Connaissance Template Series behind us we are back again on our routine job and presenting you a new template. We plan on presenting it to you sometime next week. Yes, it will be a regular template release with some first few free giveaways then for sale in our store only. At this time we are not going to request for any member to test our templates as we do not want this Series to go the way of the Connaissance Template and also sell to a private party before release date. Although we might select a couple of testers with the express condition that this will not be sold privately. We want this new template to be available in our store for people to buy and enjoy it.

We are proud to introduce "Edge". Edge can misguide you as it has many definitions, one being sharp corners. Surprise! This template has no sharp edges but is on the "Cutting Edge". You might call it anti-edge or edge-less but we use term edge in very specific meaning, "Cutting Edge". Edge is the most important part of this design and you will learn why we called this template "Edge” in next few minutes.

Important Announcement about Connaissance

Important Announcement about the Connaissance Template Series

Connaissance - PRE-RELEASE SOLD OUT!

As you know, PMDStyles had been hard at work on this Series for over a month.

We worked very hard on a new concept of designs which enables a complete portal solution for your business directory. The new concept will boost your business and put you a step ahead of your competitors. The layout is highly SEO friendly and using many “white hat” SEO Techniques. With approximately 30% of traffic driven by Google only (according to research), we realize how important ‘positive SEO’ is for a business. Top position on Google organic SERP ensure you top position on most of the real time search engines. Although the majority of SEO experts believe that a professional and eye catching design is not necessary for a good SEO website, as search engine spiders cannot see/read any graphical interface, we believe that a even balance in both SEO and design can drive business to your website more aggressively than either a strong SEO / week Design or week SEO / strong Design. Ultimately we are dealing with human begins and they are the only source of your income. They all have eyes and they can feel an impact, although first impression is usually the last impression. They don’t care how the information got to the Internet, they are concerned with what it says, does and how user friendly it is. With both SEO and Design in mind we were trying to make a good balance among SEO and design. Although we might not be able to achieve a perfect solution, we have reached the critical point and believe that we have gone further than anyone has toward a perfect balance.

New Design Concept Coming Up

Connaissance

Now we are here again to discuss a totally new design concept for a regular template. Today, we are going to announce the concept and story behind new design "Connaissance". Its pretty simplified layout, clean, elegant aesthetic, straight-forward structure and what less would you expect from us than beautiful, completely SEO friendly layout using increasingly-popular XHTML and CSS combination to create flawless design.

Off topic, A little over a month ago, just when we started to design phpMyDirectory templates, Robert (Lead developer, PMDStyles) asked me (Jeff, SEO and Support, PMDStyles) a few questions about what we’ve been thinking and planning to doing with PMDStyles after few months. Are we only designing templates for phpMyDirectory. Well Robert had very good point. certainly we do like designing but we are trying to narrow down the gap between improvement and perfection. We are improving the look, feel and overall structure from beginning. We have talked about customized solution for a long time, but it has never actually happened. We either didn't have the interest, budget, time or resources. But this time we took a small step towards big goal.

Free Downloads

This is an announcement for all members and visitors of PMDStyles. We have noticed in last few days that users are not following guidelines to use our free GNU/GPL license templates. We have been informed by some generous members/visitors about misuse of our products and services. In our terms and conditions, we have made copyright issue of our products very clear. But after enough has been said and talked, most of the users are not accepting our terms and conditions so we are forced to shutdown our download section till further announcement.

If you wish to buy these templates, you can visit our shop. All templates are available in PMD Shop.

Further more, we had visited many phpMyDirectory websites in last few days and we found out most of the web directories are violating our terms, which is not acceptable in any circumstances. On most of the websites, webmaster removed footer credit note which give us credit for our work. This is all we are asking. You should leave the text under footer area untouched which says "Template designed by PMDStyles.com". If its a very big to ask, you always have a option to buy that particular template and you will be allowed to remove copyright tag as well as you will get more features with a template. Our prices are very low at this moment. If you want to buy a template you can visit our shop and if a particular template is not listed there, you can drop us a mail to make template available in shop.

We are very proud to say that PMDStyles is the first among few providers of free professionally designed phpMyDirectory templates and we don’t want to close this service as many of users cannot afford to buy a template right now so they can give us credit as long as they want to use our template. You must read our terms of use carefully before downloading any product.

Thank You.
