Sprout WomanMultimedia content creation tool Sprout begins to offer templates to users.

Starting from scratch in Sprout has been a headache for many newbies who are not familiar with the beta system. Help is not always available and in some cases you have to search the Internet for tips. By using these templates, even a kid can quickly create a multimedia flash mini site in minutes.

All templates come with a fixed size of 300 x 250. Currently, there are two personal Sprout themes and two political themes – men, women; democrat, republican. I don’t really care about the political themes, so let me tell you what you can do with a personal Sprout:

Basically it’s a mini flash site with five preset pages – Home, Gallery, About, Video and Blog. These page titles are quite self-explanatory. With them, you can create a slide show, introduce yourself, add a video and a blog feed – not so impressive for an advanced user – but for new guys, these things can help them get started as soon as they signed up!

However, to get the most out of them, users need to spend some time dissecting the templates. This way you learn basic techniques quickly and soon you’ll be able to create your own desired effects from a blank template.

Enjoy!
