The text on the buttons is self-explanatory. Call-to-action buttons call upon the website visitor to perform certain tasks. For example, you can call upon your site visitors to make a purchase or download a file. A ‘call to action’ is an essential part of marketing and persuasive techniques. Without a loud and clear call to action, your persuasive efforts will not produce the desired results. Similarly, a call-to-action button on a website should make it clear what you want the site visitor to do. To achieve this objective, such buttons should be conspicuous and have your ‘call’ written over them ‘loud and clear’. Today’s freebies include a set of call-to-action buttons. Feel free to download and customize them by adding your own ‘call to action’ text layers. You may also be interested in some of these previously posted freebies: 3D Button, Dark Button, Web Buttons, Wood Button, Cool Web Buttons and Call To Action Download Button.

Life is all about time - a seamless array of moments, all knitted together to provide us the perfect backdrop to judge who we are and what we have accomplished. We, human beings, are also visual creatures. We understand things better when we can visualize them in the form of graphics and pictures. No wonder we have invented the concept of graphical time lines to mark the significant points in our lives along the scale of time. That pretty much describes the timeline PSD I’m going to share with you today. This timeline PSD identifies a few milestones in my life. You can certainly modify this timeline freebie to convey a new story. This could be a story of a person, a place, or any other narrative you want to portray in the framework of time. Go ahead, download the timeline PSD, and tell us a new tale in time.

No application, regardless of whether it’s web-based or mobile-based, can be considered truly user-friendly unless it offers an engaging and intuitive user experience. An application’s user interface or UI should be built in a way that minimizes the time and effort a user has to spend to perform various app operations. Users will lose interest in an application if they don’t understand it or are unable to use it to achieve their objective. Today’s freebie consists of a set of six UI circular buttons. There can be countless types and designs of UI buttons. They can have different geometric shapes, colors, and effects. The important thing web designers and UI engineers should keep in mind is that any UI element should be well suited to the desired user experience and the overall design theme. The featured circular buttons will blend well with metallic and wooden design themes. Thanks to their size and distinctive design, these can easily be used as call-to-action buttons. Do let me know what you think of this freebie. Feel free to download and redesign these UI buttons.

Gone are the days when the only choice you had at the computer shop was a big-size desktop or tower-based machine accompanied with a CD to install Windows OS. Consumers today are faced with a growing number of digital devices and brands. Companies producing computing and mobile devices are locked in stiff competition to sway public opinion and influence consumer buying behavior. App developers and designers must take stock of the new realities if they want to stay relevant in this market. Nowadays a lot of effort is spent developing user interfaces that can respond to various digital platforms on sale. A website or an app that can work well on one platform, say PC, but loses all its usability and design attractiveness on other platforms cannot succeed in this market. The freebie I’m sharing today is a responsive website navigation. I have placed the website navigation and mobile navigation side by side. As a designer you should be able to imagine how a website navigation will appear on different platforms. A good website navigation will be understandable and easy to use on all devices, including mobiles, tablets, and personal computers.

I have tried to create an iPad app design that fully supports retina display. In this email client freebie I have used large design elements to make the app easier to navigate. Let me know what you think of this freebie. You can use a cool email client to do that. You may also like: Action Bar (PSD), Windows-Style Mobile Dashboard and Mobile Dashboard Template.
