Website templates

A website template, or website theme, is a layout made by web designers to speed up the site-building process. Each design comes with a selection of pages and mockup content to give you an idea of what you should include on your website.

For example, an eCommerce website layout often comes with a landing page or two, dedicated pages for contact information and terms and conditions, as well as a separate section for the online store.

While there’s no definitive answer, good web design templates should be fully mobile-responsive, made using HTML5, and follow modern design principles and trends.

On top of that, a good website layout template should fit multiple purposes. For example, a one-page website design should be easy to transform into an online store by simply adding eCommerce functionality and extra pages.

You can preview different website themes to see them in action and then choose a perfect template for your needs. Buy any hosting pan to get access to customize it. You can add new functions, extra pages, social media feeds, and contact forms using the drag-and-drop editor. When you’re happy with the result, connect the website template and hosting to a custom domain and launch your site for the whole world to see.

Absolutely – think of web design templates as creative examples of how a website could look. Since you can customize everything, adding more pages is one mouse click away when editing your theme in the website builder.

No, website builder templates are managed with a visual builder, meaning that you don’t need to know any HTML to design your website. Simply select an element on the layout and drag it to its new position. The in-built grid makes sure that all elements are properly aligned in the web page template.

Start by thinking about the kind of site you want to have. Are you looking for a simple or business website template? Maybe you only need an informative template for your company. Many small businesses look for a template that offers eCommerce functionality, while an influencer might need a blog to share their stories about food, travel, and everything else in between with their audience.

That depends on how much you customize your website. If you need a basic website and don’t have the time to change the color scheme or add custom pages, chances are that your site will look similar to other websites. But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing if other sites using the same popular template don’t operate in your field.

Thankfully, editing the different pages and page sections on-site is fast and easy with the visual drag-and-drop editor. And if you want to be truly unique, get a more creative website template instead.

Of course. Even the best websites need regular refreshing. From time to time, you’ll need to consider creating new pages, updating old ones, or adding new functionality to your site. Your contact details may change, or your online business might evolve into a fully-fledged ecommerce company. When this happens, simply head back to the website editor, make the necessary changes to your pages, and update your website.
