Probably you will ask what are your options? The options are custom development and pre-designed templates. The first one is evident from its name. Its comparatively expensive, takes some time for development, provides unique design(until someone steals it). What is website template - its a pre-designed and user friendly skin for your website that comes at affordable price($25-65) and can be modified without deep knowledge of web technologies with any WYSIWYG editor. Though its not quite true if it goes about flash templates. You will need at least basic knowledge of Macromedia Flash and the editing software itself, which is rather expensive(happily still there is 30 day trial of Flash and a bunch of customization service companies that will do all the job for $200)

Okay. After “parsing” Google for a couple of days and consulting with your friends, wife and a guy in the bar you have a serious dilemma. To use or not to use web site templates? It really depends, lets think and count together.
Suppose you are running serious business, like an international car dealer, or providing loans, or huge real estate company or some business consulting agency or maybe military aircraft plant, or some old IT company. Suppose you are IBM! You want to be as unique as possible, underline all your outstanding features, emphasize your brand, make unforgettable impression on your customer. Make them understand that you are THE ONLY one. Then template is not a variant, that’s for sure. Perfect custom design with an indecently large budget and best designers. If you are not IBM and even not Samsung, then $1500-3000 will be quite enough to make something of the kind but with another logo.
But the majority of the guys reading this manual are not from CISCO, or even Forex, or whatever. They just intend to sell sport apparel online and don’t want to get involved into serious financial risks. Probably you need online store design that can be easily integrated into your existing Oscommerce engine and easily edited in FrontPage or dreamweaver. And the budget is about $400. Then pre-made website template is just what you are looking for. It can be always customized and adopted to your specific needs, and which is more important you get what you see when you pay(I mean that there will be no over creative designers assuring you after you’ve paid that what they will give you is just what you need. And they know it better
