1) What is Topsite101?
It's a small corner of the web where we like to share styles we make for our favorite topsites script. If you aren't sure what a "topsite" is, Wikipedia can help you out. In simple terms, we've owned a few topsites in our time and we couldn't find any styles good enough for us (we're picky!). As a result we ended up making them ourselves and people told us we had a eye for it. Before long we were making custom designs for money, but it didn't seem right.
Aardvark Topsites PHP is free software, and we were making money by tailoring it to suit (pun!) people's needs. While some people think that this is a great business plan, we just didn't. We're the same guys behind Bitcove Web Development, which specializes in making sites more user friendly. The group soon decided it would be great if we could make the styles, which are very user friendly, and have anyone who wanted to use them be free to. Nine months later (maybe we should lay off the porn) out popped a beautiful baby webpage, Topsite101.com.
In short, we make styles, templates, and happiness. Oh, and strive to make you, the end user, have a more pleasurable Internet experience.
2) Is everything Creative Commons or...?
It depends. There isn't a blanket answer we can apply, because certain styles we offer may have been ported from styles for other platforms, and may have pre-existing licensing attached to them. We make sure the full information regarding use is included with all our styles though, so no worries.
3) I love you, can I donate?
Nah. Sorry, we aren't taking donations right now. If you love us though, check out some of our network sites.
4) Advertise. I want to.
It ain't cheap! We kid, we kid. This site and project are funded by advertisers, so It's great you want to help out. We sell one banner space (with 5 banners in rotation) which appears on every page. You can make your purchase (the prices flux) by visiting our purchase page; http://www.bitcove.net/advertise/purchase.php?do=banner&zone=2
