website templates

A web template is an element of a web template system that is used to rapidly generate and mass-produce web pages through a pre-defined schematic, layout, or finite number of programming language instructions.In its simplest sense, a web template operates similarly to a form letter.One of the primary design principles used to justify the use of web templates is the "separation of presentation and content".
here's some tips on choosing the right template for ur site

layout:

If you want to save money on your template, then think first about the layout of it's elements. Do you like where the menu is positioned? Do you like the module positions? Is the content area appropriate for your purposes? The color scheme is also important, but with a little bit of work (learning CSS basics and figuring out image editing) you can tweak that yourself. Start off your template choosing process by laying out where you want the elements of your website to fall.

content:

Even though the design of a site is important, it's content is more so. So, when you're choosing a template, try to think of it working as a catalyst for your content. Sure, a good design is pretty, but does it work for the content you have? For example, if you will have a site that showcases good writing, you want to make sure your content is comfotable to read. A dark theme or one with text lacking contrast will defeat your purpose.

templates and SEO:

Can a template harm your rankings in search engines? Sometimes, yes. Nowadays, search engines appreciate code that is clean, simple and straightforward. Too many funky elements often require complicated code. Keep it simple and the search engines will reward you.

template vs brand:

A good template is useless if your site's branding doesn't match with it. You need to make sure your template conveys the same values as your brand.
