As the need to get yourself noticed on the internet continues to grow, more and more people are now looking for special design templates, and there are more and more designs for sale. So how do we match up the designers with the buyers, and give the customer a look at what they are buying?

Over the last few months we have seen a massive increase in free sites which allow you to upload the code for your site design onto a third party site, either charging for a copy or giving away for free. The trend these days seems to be towards giving your design away for free, but leaving a number of links in the footer of the design. If your design is taken on by a high profile and high Page Ranking site then you have the potential to benefit.

While it would not be advisable to give away your latest designs, it may be sensible to try and charge a small amount for your newer designs in the short term, and then when interest starts to fade, give it away for free. The more designs which you circulate with links, the more chance you have of receiving new business enquiries to your business site (assuming that you have one).

While it can take a while to benefit from the links left in your free design give away, it can have a massive impact if it proves popular and people use the design. Everything comes to those who wait, and these things can take a while to filter through!
