Question & Answer

What is a readymade website or a template-based site?
A readymade website or website template is a pre-developed design, HTML page, or ready-made set of files used by a CMS as a ready solution for creating websites. Creating a template-based site is a shortened production cycle. Since there is no need to write a technical specification, create a design and draw all the blocks and pages, adapt the design to different screen resolutions as well as layout and program functionality
A template website is created considering the specifics of a certain business area. A template for a real estate agency will be different from a website template for a beauty salon. One more thing is that in a website template, all the elements are organically integrated into the structure. The blocks are logically arranged seeing the user’s movement across the page, and the dynamics of perception of content and the visual accents in it.
For future website development, you receive a technical frame that needs to be filled with beautiful and organic content. During the development process, you may remove or add any content blocks with the recommendations of a specialist to maintain the attractiveness of the page for the visitor. So, be careful and listen to the recommendations of web specialists.

 Who is suitable for developing a website using a template?
Such solutions are used for two situations:
The first is when the customer has a limited budget for website development. Creating a website based on a ready-made solution is a case where you can develop a website inexpensively while maintaining the quality of the project. 
The second is when the customer has limited time to create a website or the website is needed yesterday. Individual website development takes months, depending on the volume and complexity. The template website with text and graphic content takes from 2 weeks
85% of companies can use a ready-made solution with structure and functions to post their text content and images. All that remains to be done is to adapt the site to the content and corporate style of the customer’s company
Let’s summarize who is suitable for an inexpensive website with a ready-made structure and design:
    ● For customers aiming to get quick results
    ● For beginning entrepreneurs and clients with a very limited budget
    ● Regional small and medium-sized businesses with a narrow range of target audiences
    ● For those who are satisfied with the site's standard functions
    ● Owners who do not plan to significantly change their site in the future

 Who is NOT suitable for creating a website using a template?
If you have a startup, an online service, a unique brand, or want to promote a large business then a template solution is not for you.
Below we list several other areas and areas of business that are not suitable for ready-made solutions:
    ● Insurance companies
    ● Banks and financial sector
    ● Government organizations
    ● Internet portals for B2B and B2C segments
    ● Any projects and companies of the premium segment
    ● FMCG
    ● Marketplaces, etc.
In this case, the business needs to enter into a contract for individual website development and pay for the services of developers, designers, and marketers who will develop an original website concept for you.

 What should you pay attention to when choosing a website based on a template?
You should like the template. If you buy a template that does not meet your requirements and aesthetic wishes, you will regret the money spent. And you are unlikely to be able to adapt it to yourself, because along with the template you are supplied with all the visual design unchanged - style, fonts, graphics, and visual effects.
A modern and easy-to-use website should be adaptive. Check how all elements function on different devices.
Choose a template that contains all the pages necessary for your site. For owners of online shopping sites, for example, it is important to choose a template that includes built-in elements such as a shopping cart, registration, and login forms, a wish list, order history, and a page with legal information.
However, any site even a template one cannot be chosen for reasons of cheapness.

 How is a website developed using a template?
One of the main conditions for the successful operation of your website is the correct choice of the template on which it will be created. Attractive adaptive templates are developed for different CMS.
Depending on the management system you prefer, you get several templates with their design, structure, and basic functionality. From the proposed options you choose the one that suits you best by design, structure, and functionality.
The next step is the installation of the system and template on the hosting.
The next part is filling up your text and graphic content for the site, as well as making the necessary changes to the structure, sizes, color schemes, etc.
