The Advantages Of Using Website Templates

• Templates provide a shell around which you can quickly build a professional website.
   
• They help ensure that your site's pages are consistent in appearance, navigation, and overall design.
   
• They are available with custom graphics and logos already in place.
   
• They let novice webmasters create an attractive, functional site that visitors will enjoy using.

1. Create it yourself! If you have experience with HTML and a moderate amount of design talent, you can build your own template from scratch and then just add in the unique content for each page.
    
2. Hire a professional web designer to create a template for you. Most designers will assemble a great template for you at a much lower cost than they would charge to build your entire site.
    
3. Use a free pre-made template from one of the many website template sites. There are a couple of disadvantages of using a free template however:
    
   • They typically require a "Designed by" link on every page.
      
   • Sites using the same template tend to be ubiquitous on the web.
      
   Of course the advantage of using a free template is it's, well, free!
    
4. Purchase a pre-made website template. There will usually be no link required, and while there will still usually be several sites that share your template, there will be a lot less than if you use a free one.
