George Hogan, chief editor at Web Design Library, commenting on this bold new direction for TemplateMontser.com, said: Many of our customers have been urging us toward some collaborative web design project with an emphasis on inclusion and diversity. And why not?

Weve successfully done templates, now well develop the worlds best web design resource center. Moving forward, Web Design Library emphasizes process no less than product and practices no less than theories.

But thats not all. As part of its strategy to gather and showcase divergent viewpoints and alternative methods for solving problems in site design, WDL solicits content from its visitors. Authorship is an unbiased opportunity available to all. It is not enough to say that Web Design Library is an impartial judge and makes conclusions about the publication of materials based on texts alone: the case is always called and the questions are invariably asked, regardless of the authors nationality or degree of notoriety.

Web Design Library to date boasts a materials list that includes as well solicited articles from Jakob Nielsen (useit.com) as tutorials from budding specialists like Ades Tynyshev (adesdesign.net) and Akash Goel (spoono.com), who simply astonished the library staff with his work, which arrived in the librarys inbox a few weeks after a request for submissions was posted locally in public computer labs in the New York area. Likewise, submissions from TemplateMonster.com partners like KillerSites.com, PromotionWorld.com and others attest to the diverse nature of the Web Design Library community.

In short, TemplateMonster.com is once again breaking traditions in order to make a positive difference in the way the web design world works. And to encourage visitors to contribute, TemplateMonster.com and the staff at Web Design Library are now offering free promotional ad space with each published material.
