How to Choose Website Templates

Since many of our HTML CSS web templates utilize the concept of removable header graphics, base your web template selection on the layout, ie. 1 column, 2 columns, 3 columns, right navigational menu, top navigational menu, left navigational menu, etc.

Purchase the website template layout(s) you need and then build your website. For example, if you need both a 1 column and 2 column template, simply select these template layouts from our pre-designed collection of more than 1000. It doesn't matter whether the header graphics themes are appropriate for your needs or if they match each other. What is important is that the layouts are what you want, and the header graphic is removable.

If you cannot find an appropriate header graphic in our gallery of more than 1,200 pre-designed header graphic images, we can design a low cost header graphic for you based on your website theme or target market. If you need an exclusive custom designed header we can do that too.

The biggest mistake most webmasters make is waiting to develop their website because they cannot find the right graphics or template. If you choose a template provider that understands effective website development, BasicTemplates.com (of course), the graphics can easily be added at any time. Developing effective web templates using external cascading style sheets with the capability of removable graphics has been our concept since 1994.

Building your website's content is the most important part of the process because content is what the search engines seek to index and what your visitors are looking for when they find your website. Don't waste valuable time fretting over graphics that are not "direct effective components".

Timing is critical when you launch a website, so don't spend your time on tasks that do not directly bring you sales or accomplish whatever goal it is you wish to achieve with your website. Reminding yourself of this simple statement whenever you start a new task, will shave hours off your development process and it will certainly save you money.
