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:
- Consultation,
- Mock up the basic site layout as a web image template,
- Approval of layout,
- Build HTML template,
- Build individual site pages, and insert content / graphics
/ Flash / Databases / Programming etc.,
- 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.
