ralph33 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I am beginning to understand the basics of html and css. I was just wondering what templates are used for. I asume they are used to make a website and having all the basic code done for you. It seems to me that this is just trying to avoid all the basic work.

falkencreative Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Templates can help speed up the process of building a website. A template usually gives you all of the basic coding necessary to have a functional website, and you just have to add in your content. On the plus side, templates can significantly reduce the amount of time spent on a web project. The downside to templates is that they aren't built with your/your client's specific needs in mind, and they often look generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Templates can be good for a beginner. You can edit the markup and css and see what happens, but if you get it messed up just reload from the original or a previous working stage and carry on. They can teach you a lot. Try to choose a template that has reasonably simple code otherwise you really won't understand anything about how it is coded. Google "free web templates" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
