Guest rosalieint Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Web templates are pre-designed WebPages and its defined HTML layout complete with images and navigation test. All you need to do is add your own personal content and you're ready to start your own website. Quote
Andrea Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Sure, but the purpose of this board is mainly to help people learn how to build their own - from 'scratch' with validating, standard-compliant code. Quote
nycNick Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Some things are reinventing the wheel. There's no reason to remake something existing: wordpress, jquery, etc. (unless you're more a pro than i'll ever be) It is kind of like the artist Matthew Barney's idea, that one is kind of doomed working on a building with a cracked foundation. A template's start or process can be corrupted. Wysiwyg software pkgs add nonsense code. A clean site comes from the ground up. Quote
Andrea Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Nothing wrong with using templates - but it's important to understand how things work. Plus, there are plenty improperly coded templates out there - it's good to have enough understanding of HTML and CSS to recognize those - and to make any necessary fixes. Quote

nycNick Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 If you're talking about me its not spam. Templates can often be a help, relying on them can misleading, its good to learn, that is what I tried to allude to. N Quote

Andrea Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 If you're talking about me its not spam.No, not you - this kind of thing, someone new showing up and asking such a 'door-opener' question, and someone else new following right behind with at least one link to this REALLY great site where you can find exactly what poster 1 is looking for - often for a discount - is a commonly used spammer technique - they think they are soooo smart. I also always get pretty suspicious when newbies pop in and reply stuff like "great post" or "thanks for sharing" to half a dozen posts. What's the point of that? Imagine everybody would leave comments like that to every thread they read - this forum would be a huge mess of totally useless "good post" posts. That's my rant for the day. Quote
