Website templates are pre-designed HTML or Flash source code files, which can be used by web designers instantly to fill in their own content, image files, company logo, color theme and links.

As website development is becoming more and more important for today's business including small firms, the use of website templates is becoming more popular as they can offer different varieties of color schemes and designs, at much lower cost than hiring a web designer to do a custom web design.

Using a website template has the following benefits:

- Save time in website building and design, you can launch a website much faster - Save cost, no need to hire a professional designer and you can choose a suitable design from many ready made templates

- If you have some HTML or Flash knowledge, you can customize the website template by yourself to make your site design looks unique.

- Consistent of color theme, design style as most website templates comes with both the main page and sub page designs

However, there are also drawbacks of using website templates which you should take into consideration:

- If you hire a professional web designer you can specify exactly what you want, including color, images, fonts, etc. There are many choices you can make when it comes to selecting a website template, however you would have to accept all the design elements as it is.

- Not all website templates are created using clean coding and style, and usually no any template editor software is included. Therefore you might find the template you bought very difficult to edit

- You can outsource the template customization job to a professional, however this way you might not save much cost. Most web design contractors would charge you a higher price if you ask them to customize a thrid party template

- The same website template might have been used by many other buyers, it is possible that your visitor have seen a website with a similar design elsewhere.

For web templates purchased without an editor included, usually you will recieve a zip/rar archive with the full template source code file. You need to extract and open the source file using Adobe Flash or Dreamweaver.

There are all-in-1 website template software packages which comes with website templates plus template editing software, which enable you to edit a selected website template easily, without having to pay extra to hire a web designer.

These software packages usually requires no programming language at all, all you need to have is software which allows you to select a web site template, and change text, images, and arranging links.

Simply google for keywords such as 'website template windows software' or 'flash template software', and you should be able to find few choices.
