Website templates are very affordable and they save you a lot of time and effort when you want to create a new layout for your website. However, a lot of people make mistakes in the process of selecting and using a web template and end up with something that was unlike the picture they had in mind. Here are some guide lines to help you keep clear of those mistakes.

The first obvious slipup you should be aware of is using a template that is very common. If many people use the same template, your website will not appear unique at all and your credibility as a solid, different website designer will be tarnished. In other words, you will appear generic just like the rest of the sheep.

The whole point of using a web template is to save time and effort. You just change the title and appropriate details and you're done. The biggest blunder one makes is to customize the template above recognition. While that may be good in the sense that you're creating a Individual website, you're defying the very purpose of using a web template -- saving time and effort.

But, on the opposite side, if the template you buy is right but some changes must be made to suit your site's design, then you will have to take some time to make the changes. For instance, you could find a very advantageous template that suits your hobby site except the original author has put a block print of photographs in the header. You can find images of botanical garden plants and spades to remove the stamps for your gardening hobby site. But, make only those changes and don't redesign all template.

In some circumstances, some people altogether make the wrong choice of template. This is a very deep-seated issue but you have to be cautious in selecting templates to suit your client. Do not pick templates just because they are attractive, choose them because they serve your purpose.
