Templates are a professional and yet economical solution to creating your website. Many webmasters buy professional customizable templates online and use them for their own clients and just customize them to their clients' wishes. Of course, one should always inform clients of the difference and make sure they understand that they have the option of using a template based website which will be more economical, or a custom made website which can get very expensive, but remain unique.

The way I think of using templates is just like the 'red carpet'. If you are in the spotlight and a really famous website, you will want to have a custom made (and expensive!) dress from a very well-known designer. But if you are a small star, though still special, you can get away with shopping in a nice boutique and risk having a similar dress to someone else. Well, maybe I'm not so great at analogies, but I think you get the 'big picture' (no pun intended!)

There are many websites offering website design templates available for you to download, either free or for a fee. So many in fact, its enough to make your head spin. Though you can find free templates online, you can save yourself a lot of hassle by paying for one.
