These templates work as a base/starting point for building your website, which helps people with no coding knowledge/experience skip creating webpages from scratch.

While designing the template using a programming language such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, and many more, the developer keeps in mind the general audience.

The same templates can be used multiple times by different people and companies.

Here Is A List Of Elements That Comprise A Website Template

Common Elements :

• Site Logo, Name/Title, Background Colour

• Picture Gallery, Slideshow
• Banner or Video Background
• Video Player
• Contact Form
• Chatbot
• Animations
• Social Media Icons
• Footer

According to the person and company goals & requirements, some elements may differ, such as:

• Online Donation
• Take the online booking for services, events, conferences, shows, courses, classes, hotel rooms, and many more.

and many more in a website template.

The website template can be a single page or multi-page, where each page has its elements & features, styled according to the type of website, industry, business, and also based on topics. It can be a free or paid version.

You can find it as a stand-alone downloadable/purchasable from a third-party marketplace or included with CMS or a website builder.

Guidelines To Consider On How To Choose The Best Template

The website represents a brand and is also an integral part of the company or person.

The style, look, feel & tone in which you interact with users will decide whether they want to stay and engage with the site.

Looking at so many templates can leave you feeling lost or confused about which one is best for your website.

Therefore, here are some key points to research about the website template before making any decision:

• Reviewing user ratings and testimonials
• Developer’s Bio – Experience, list of templates created so far.
• How is the customer support – reading reviews, study support forum, how quickly do you receive technical support from the developer?
• Is the template up-to-date and compatible with the current version of CMS or website builder, and browser?
• Does the template update frequently?
• How easily are the template vulnerabilities, bugs, and issues being resolved?
• How secure is the template from cyber attackers?
• Log all the updates till the current version of the template
• Have in-depth documentation & tutorials (blogs, guides, video) about how to use the template, including (features & functionality)

What type of website are you building?

You should be clear of

What do you want from the website? Do you want Brand awareness, Increase Traffic, Grow Customer Base, Increase Conversion, Increase Sales, and Reduce Cart Abonnement?

Who is your target audience?

In what ways can you solve the problems & pain points of the visitor? How will they benefit from it?

Do you want the audience to take any action once visiting the website – download, purchase fill out a form, or book online?

Deciding the purpose of the website, whether it will be:

Online Store

Blog

Business Service

Portfolio

Entertainment

News / Magazine

Events

Online Food Order

Online Booking

Community

Education

depends on what business you do, in which industry you are, & for what topic.

According to these points, you also have to decide what features & functionality would be available on the website.

Customization

Google Site (part of Google Workspace) is a free and easy-to-use website builder and page creation tool, also known as Google Website Builder.

Therefore, it helps small businesses or people with zero coding knowledge to build a simple website or a single page, such as:

• You can showcase your work using a portfolio.
• Resume / CV
• Landing Page
• Schools/colleges can use it to provide information about courses, activities, assignments, staff, rules, etc.
• Events information with direction to it
• Wiki – info about your brand or company
• Help Center – FAQs, community, guides, raising issues/feedback, etc.
• Build an intranet site (Project Hubs, Team), which helps with internal communication.

You’ll need to have a Google Account to access Google Site. It is free to use.

But there’s a catch here, as there is some additional cost that comes outside of the Google Site, such as:

• If you exceed the storage that comes with the free Google Account, then you have to pay for extra storage.
• Register a custom domain with Google or purchase it from a third-party site or Google Domain.
• Having a Google workspace Account with either an enterprise plan or a business plan

Google Site – Important Fact

According to the updates:

Starting in May 2021, people going to the Google Site are automatically taken to the New Interface to create a new website/page.

Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence)

Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence) is another option for making a professional website in just a few minutes using AI technologies, by asking basic questions about the business and website needs.

That’s not all; to collect more relevant information about the businesses, it will crawl through the web and social media accounts.

Based on these answers, it will ask some more questions regarding the design, layout, personal info about the business (name, logo), and additional features like eCommerce, live chat, and many more.

When all the information is collected, ADI technology will create a personalized, ready-made site that can go live with the click of a button.

If you want to tweak some changes, you’ll be able to do that in the ADI editor or move the site from Wix ADI to the Standard DIY editor.

Velo by Wix

Velo by Wix is another option that helps users go into developer mode and build complex web applications with a serverless, secure, and maintained system.

Add custom functionality and interaction by connecting to 100s of APIs. As it is an open development platform, it allows users to use its tools to extend the site’s functionality to other services.

Use the built-in database to manage all your content, code directly into the IDE, or work in your environment for both front-end and back-end events. That’s not all; the Wix editor gives you total control over your design and even optimizes business apps to run on your website.
