Templates

A template is a ready-made Web page that allows you to plug in your images and text to create your own Web site. Often templates come with a user interface that guides you through the process of building your Web pages.

Functionality

Template-based Web sites tend to offer little interactivity as they are designed to help people without much Web design experience create simple Web pages. Interactivity on template-based sites is often limited to external hyperlinks and email capabilities.

For increased functionality, consider using an HTML Editor to code your Web pages yourself.

Level of Difficulty

Even though templates are designed for the beginner and often eliminate the need for the user to know complex programming, it can take some time to get a Web page just right.

Template-based sites are perfect for proud parents wanting to show off baby pictures or a small business making its first appearance on the World Wide Web.
