design websites, Web designers and web design companies are in the habit of
using website templates. There are so many things you need consider before
purchasing a template for your website design.
Easy to Customize
Since most of the web design functions
are built in, web designers do not need to spend much time writing codes to
achieve them. After installing a template correctly to a hosting area, the only
thing left is customizing the template. Some templates do not allow easy
customization while others give you options such as one click installation and
one click demo content importing.

If you search for website templates, you
will see that 98% of the templates are very cheap. Buying cheap website design
templates and customizing it to meet the criteria of the clients, does not take
that long with the knowledge of web designing. But you have to be careful when
buying templates at affordable prices as they will not be able to achieve the
functions that you have been looking for. Therefore it is always good to
compare the price against the functions of a template.

to increase traffics to your website. The mobile friendliness of a website is
mandatory these days as it could increase traffic from different mobile
devices. Therefore, when you look for a template to develop your website, it is
always good to select a template that is highly responsive to mobile devices.
Most of the web design template
providers will state in their description that the template is responsive. But make
sure, not to forget to check it against different screen sizes. Because, once
you bought it, it is hard to get refund for a template.

SEO ( Search Engine Optimization )
Friendly
Search engine optimization is an
important factor to consider when designing websites. Therefore, it is really vital
to find a website template that is SEO friendly. Some of the website templates
already have built in micro format mark-ups such as schema and open graph. And
website loading speed is important for SEO as well. Therefore, make sure to

provide a live demo. When choosing a website design template, analyze the demo
