What is a CSS Template?

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), in essence, is a style sheet language that can easily change the formatting and overall look of a web page. Written in either HTML or XHTML, these sheets can give both professional designers and the average web user a simple way to make creative and beautiful web pages.

If you are looking to use a more Web 2.0 style, the professional web designers have the knowledge to really make those CSS pages stand out. Here we are going to take a look at some great looking and simple to implement CSS pages that are being offered for free from professional web designers.
