Brooklyn, New York, December 15th 2009 – Template Monster, one of the Internet's largest template providers, launched today a new product line that includes Microsoft Silverlight-based templates and Silverlight intros. This technology allows users to create Web site templates that are as high quality as designs that were produced using other technologies. In addition to Silverlight, Template Monster's templates and intros also use Microsoft Expression Blend, a user interface tool that works with Silverlight to help developers build Web applications and rich digital media contents.

Template Monster's new templates and intros use key frame based animation, visual state management, SEO-friendly URL structure, ease of editing and customizing, which are all perfect amenities for animation developers. Template Monster's intros are notable for being integrated within a CMS tool that allows texts, slogans, and color scheme editing as well as using color presets or color picker. Additionally, the intros presuppose creating individual color presets and provide the ability to see the results on-the-fly.

Template Monster expects these templates to be particularly attractive to the Microsoft .NET developer community. "I think .NET developers will find compelling Web site designs they can use as a starting point to build their Web site projects," said David Braun, CEO of Template Monster. "It is a significant part of Template Monster's policy to provide developers with a full range of high quality Web designs. It's not only about product quantity, but also about the number of platforms that these products are created with."

"Template Monster enables .NET developers to build creative design styles that come to life with Silverlight and Expression Blend," said Steve Sklepowich, Director of Silverlight at Microsoft Corp. "Microsoft looks forward to seeing the creative ways in which the developer community will be able to use these templates to build high-quality design experiences."
