Alternate versions of Variant Rounded

Last week I released two alternate versions of the andreas01 template. Today I have added two variations of the Variant Rounded template with wider layouts (960px width instead of 760px in the original template), including a 2-column version since that had been requested by a site visitor.

I did not make any changes to the colorscheme in these variations, but I have got a request for a pink-colored version of Variant Rounded that I am planning to release soon. I have also made alternate colorschemes to other templates, including the new Variant Duo so there will be more alternate version releases in the next couple of weeks. Requests for alternate versions are very welcome, post your suggestions in the comments.

Full-size screenshots of the two new versions can be found on the Variant Rounded page. You can also download the templates directly:

Two new templates: Variant Rounded and Variant Portal

Saturday passed and it is now two hours into Sunday, so this post is a bit late. But the news will hopefully be interesting to you anyway! I have uploaded two new free website templates, called [Variant Rounded->http://andreasviklund.com/templates/variant-rounded/] and [Variant Portal->http://andreasviklund.com/templates/variant-portal/]. As I have in the past, I try to keep the designs simple and useful. Variant Rounded is an 800px-friendly template with more design than content in its basic 3-column layout. Variant Portal is lighter, less colorful, 1024px-friendly and made for sites with more text content that needs to be in focus. Both templates have been tested in multiple web browsers and on mobile devices, and I have not found any problems. The code is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS2. Basic accessibility features are included, such as skip links and full functionality with screen readers. Like most of my previous designs, these two new templates should be perfectly functional even in browsers that do not support CSS, thanks to the simple code structure.

Screenshots are below, click the images to download each template:
