StockLayouts Launches LayoutReady.com

StockLayouts LLC has announced a new template resource, offered under its new brand, LayoutReady, which provides small business owners with a large selection of agency grade templates for creating marketing materials suitable for high quality output on office color printers. The templates, which are available for immediate download in both U.S. and international, “A” page sizes, are easily customized to meet the needs of the business customer by using common Microsoft software applications that most small businesses already own.
The royalty-free templates include customizable layout files, carefully selected, high quality, 150 dpi stock photos and custom illustrations, including logo designs. They are produced to exacting technical standards and include page borders to accommodate trouble-free printing on color laser or inkjet printers. LayoutReady templates are designed in complete business sets and provide most small businesses with all of the content they need to produce professional quality brochures, flyers, newsletters, data sheets, stationery, postcards, ads, menus and posters without the expense of printing them on a commercial press.
LayoutReady.com provides a template editing guide to assist in the editing process in both Microsoft Word and Publisher software applications. Templates may be customized by inserting text, changing fonts, size and style of text, adding pictures and logos or editing pictures, clip art and drawing objects. Stock photos may be swapped between templates, removed or replaced with the user’s own images. A template for use in one industry or business type may also be easily re-purposed for another.
Once customized to the user’s needs, the marketing piece may be printed either in the user’s office or at a copy center. Special business card, postcard and brochure papers from manufacturers such as HP and Avery, can lend a professional, finished look and feel to the completed LayoutReady design.
