Two New Templates: East & Downtown

This week we’re so excited to introduce two newly designed and completely responsive Beam website templates: East and Downtown. Both were designed with member feedback and requests in mind, giving you elegant new ways to display your work and let your visitors navigate your site with ease. Members, if you’ve been waiting to dive into Beam, we know you’ll find your perfect match with our now seven HTML5 templates to choose from. Below we take a closer look at these new options and their specific features.

East

East’s homepage view

East has a simple and beautifully clean layout that will give your site’s visitors a taste of what you do quickly and elegantly. This new template displays filterable thumbnails on its homepage so viewers can immediately scan your work and get a clear idea of your portfolio worthy shots. Also, the navigation bar keeps your business name and contact information locked in your site’s header, so your branding will be persistent no matter how far your visitors scroll.

Downtown

Downtown’s homepage

Downtown’s homepage will make a big impression on your site’s visitors with its single image full screen display. As visitors dig deeper, they’ll be delighted to find a super organized high level view of your portfolio with extra-large cover images and a format that’ll work great whether you choose to feature lots of galleries or just a few.
