A site template is a set of graphic and html files that require minimal modification before being placed on the server. Sometimes the template set includes Flash movies, scripts in PHP and JavaScript languages, source files of graphic and flash elements. Using a template can be a good solution if the budget for creating a website design is limited.
Instructions
Step 1
Use specialized sites that conclude contracts with the authors of the templates and organize the placement and sale of templates on their server. Most of these web resources have detailed template catalogs with well-organized search engines. For example, you can find a suitable template in the directory of one of the most famous sites of this kind - https://templatemonster.com. On the main page of the site there is a search form that allows you to select in the catalog templates for the type you need (templates for Facebook, for e-commerce, corporate sites, blogs, certain management systems, etc.). In addition, here you can choose the design style (dark, neutral, retro, futuristic, etc.), the theme of the site (flowers, cars, medicine, etc.), price range, author and other parameters
Step 2
Use the sets of templates that hosting companies offer their customers. Many of them have pre-installed or client-installed management systems or website builders. Such systems allow switching templates “on the fly” from the available set of options for graphic or flash-based website design. The advantage of this method over templates found on the network is that you will not need to install them on your site yourself - hosting scripts will do it.
Step 3
Use search engines to find free templates on the internet. In this way, you can find, for example, design studios that post templates with free access for advertising purposes.
Step 4
Review the relevant sections of web resources that specialize in any particular content management system. As a rule, such sites have forums where enthusiasts of this particular "engine" exchange templates that take into account the peculiarities of this system.
