Who is it for?
Corporate Yellow suits small business owners who want a no-frills website without paying for a commercial theme. Web designers can use it as a starting point for client projects, modifying the CSS to change the yellow palette and adjusting the two-column structure to fit content needs. Students learning XHTML and CSS can examine the source code to understand how a basic two-column page is assembled. The template also works for hobbyists who need a clean, corporate-style presence quickly.
