Templates Looking at a blank Web page and trying to determine what you want to achieve can be for some like staring at a blank canvas, paintbrush in hand, and having no idea how to get what's in your head onto the canvas. A template can be a good answer for people who are less comfortable with the design and layout aspects of Web site authoring. A template is a basic HTML file with the codes for page and typographic layout already in place. Using a template holds many advantages. If after time the template does not suit you and you have a greater understanding of Web authoring, you can modify the template or create a new one.
Templates also benefit the user by enforcing consistency.
Putting your content into a template ensures that all the pages of your site will have a standard look and feel.
