Website Templates & Template Monster

Website templates are becoming more popular as a quick easy way to get your site up and running in minimal time. D.P. Web Design offers both site creation from scratch and template editing.

Don't be fooled buy the template sites saying how easy it is to download and have your site running within hours. There is still a lot of editing in a ready made templates to get it to your companies specifications, for example...

  • image editing (inserting your company logo & pics)
  • button/navigation editing (changing the wording & amount of buttons needed)
  • flash movie editing
  • site page creation
  • setting up the form delivery system

The advantage of templates give you, the client a clear idea of how your site will look and feel. This is because you can use a functioning demo of the site before you purchase it. One of the disadvantages is there may be other companies using the same template for their business. Keeping in mind modifications to the template to suite your business will change its appearance considerably.

A major bonus to templates is that it will save you hundreds of dollars on the design of your site, as half the work is already done. Especially with a site designer like D.P. Web Design that charges by the hour.
