Template Articles These articles have been written to help you better understand the advantages of using a template-based design for your website, how to find the best template for your site, as well as understanding the entire process of putting a website online.
Introduction to web templates This article explains what web templates are, their benefits, what you get when you buy one and the basics of template customization. Why to avoid free templates In this article, we explain why using a free template for a commercial site could cost you a lot more than the price of a (much better) premium template. Selecting a template provider With dozens of original template sites and hundreds of affiliate sites all competing for your business, we explain important business considerations which will help you to narrow down the field.	Selecting a template design With over 10,000 templates available through Templates.net alone, how do you decide which one is perfect for your site? Here's how! Choosing a good domain name Question: You find an online store that has a camcorder you want for $20 less than anywhere else. It's using the domain name electronix.biz. Do you buy the camcorder from them? Selecting a hosting provider Never an easy decision, and horror stories abound. But finding a host is all about defining exactly what you need. In this article, we'll help you do just that.
The articles above have been well-received and we will be adding three more articles soon! The forthcoming articles will examine: what software you really need to customize a template whether or not you should join a subscription site like Boxed Art or Design Load how to get a great looking site if you don't even know how to open Photoshop! The Template Guide is constantly under development. If you have an idea for an article you would like to see, or if you feel that we could improve this section of Templates.net in some way, we would love to hear from you!
