Layout / design templates for MVC application?

Question

Are there any open source design patterns for asp.net MVC projects? Tired of seeing the standard blue and white look that every mvc project has.

Answer 1

If you understand html / css, you can use all the websites that offer a free template, to name a few:

• http://www.oswd.org/
• http://www.sixshootermedia.com/free-templates/
• http://www.opendesigns.org/

It's just a matter of applying them to the ASP.NET MVC website (override default CSS and update _layout markup), see this article .

Or there is a MVC Contrib template gallery .

Answer 2

Those template sites seem to be outdated and no longer going on, just fyi.

http://oswd.co and http://html5up.net look to be more recent; the latter has many HTML5 templates to choose from.
