Why Use a Web Site Template?

A Web Template is a ready-made website design created to use it as a basis for fast and high-quality website development.

A website template can be used to build your personal webpage or huge corporate site, online shop or offline presentation or even as a design for the software you develop! And everything you create is going to be easy, fast and professional!

Now, we move on to the advantages of using a web template as a starting point for establishing your web presence.

1) The Bottom Line…Time = Money.

Generally speaking, web site templates are much cheaper to deploy, than fully custom designed web sites. Here's why.

Usually, a web site is designed in 5 phases:

  1. Consultation,
  2. Mock up the basic site layout as a web image template,
  3. Approval of layout,
  4. Build HTML template,
  5. Build individual site pages, and insert content / graphics / Flash / Databases / Programming etc.,
  6. Fine tune it all.

In essence, if you buy a web template, you eliminate steps a-c (and most of step d for many of our templates). These steps are expensive for 2 reasons.

First of all, it is time consuming. With a custom web site you may have to go back and forth many times until the layout meets your approval. This routinely takes 20-30 hours (or more). Generally, people don't work for free!

Secondly, to do a quality job on a custom design, you will require a graphic designer of some type. These are very creative, and highly skilled individuals that can help you get your corporate vision to the screen. This process could easily cost $50-125 per hour. This adds up fast.

2) Speed

Basically, if you have a HTML ready template, all that you need to do is to have someone set up the site on a hosting account, and then add some content to the site. If this content is just text, this can be done in an afternoon.
