What is Biz Darkblue?
Biz Darkblue is a static HTML and CSS website template released by TemplateMo (templatemo.com) under a license that permits free download, editing, and use for both commercial and non-commercial projects. The template uses a dark blue color palette, organizes content into two columns (a main content area and a sidebar), and includes a jQuery-powered image slider for displaying banners or featured visuals. It was added on 21 September 2009 and, as of the page's display, has been viewed over 118,500 times and downloaded nearly 35,000 times. The output is a complete set of HTML and CSS files that you can customize directly in a text editor and upload to any static web host.
