My first baked site http://www.fresh-web-design.co.uk
DGEC:
Seems to be working well.
One question about the free templates: where did they come from?
There's absolutely no licensing information, copyright or anything else to determine what is legal to use and what isn't it. Code is somewhat hard to nail down but those are obviously stock images. People need to know this kind of thing or they could get into trouble.
FreshWebDesign:
all the images as in photos etc are from royalty free sites such as istockphoto etc. There simply there just to get people to our site, but then theyd maybe want them customised.....
DGEC:
See, that's what I was talking about. You don't specify any kind of licenese, no attribute of the sources, etc.
Almost all the free stock photo sites still require you to acknowledge the source.
Even worse, you are definitely 100% in violation and legally liable if any of those are from istockphoto! Their stock are "royalty-free" not free. :-o
http://www.istockphoto.com/license.php
Section 3(a) "For clarity, you may not use the Content in products for resale, license or other distribution, unless...." and I don't think you qualify for an exemption.
Section 4(a) Prohibited Uses.
...
1. use the Content in design template applications intended for resale, whether on-line or not, including, without limitation, website templates, Flash templates, business card templates, electronic greeting card templates, and brochure design templates;
You better take that stuff off of there, immediately. Content providers like that don't mess around if you're caught... and your clients could be in touble too because of any of your viiolations.
FreshWebDesign:
Just an update for you....
The templates that i have left in FREE template section are all designed WITHOUT any copyright infringment on any third party.
As pointed out there was some templates there that had material that belonged to I Stock Photo. This is no more, those templates that infringed on copyright have now been removed.
If anybody would like to use them and convert them for WB, then feel free, belongs you release them into public domain and do not get any money in return.
After all, you have to look after the full community.
DGEC:
Good job. Hope I didn't sound like the voice of doom there.
On the upside - I like the new design and especially the header banner. Much "fresher". Speaking of the new design... where are the templates now?
