Using Templates for Your eCommerce Site

November 15, 2009 by FWB Editor

If you’re thinking of designing your own website, you can save a lot of money by using ecommerce templates. While a website is a must if you want your business to grow, it can be a very costly project, especially if you hire someone else to help with the job. Although you may not consider yourself talented enough to design the site yourself, you will be surprised at how much easier it is to design web pages using ecommerce templates. With a little practice and effort, most business owners are able to design a professional looking site on their own.

Ecommerce templates provide webmasters with a preset look for their site. While you still need to enter in the HTML code for your text, the amount of code you will need to write using a template is much less than if you had designed the whole site on your own. For example, with a template you will not need to write the code to design tables and frames. A template is like an outline design for your site. All you really need to add is the written content.

There are several companies that specialize in designing templates. It is a good idea to do some research first before deciding upon a specific template. Shop around to see what different companies have to offer. Be sure to choose a template that gives you the look you desire for your site. Although there are some companies that offer templates free of charge, these may not be enough to meet your needs. Some templates are designed more for homepages or personal websites. In order to have an effective ecommerce website, you will want to choose a template that is both simple and professional looking. If you want customers to purchase products or services via your ecommerce site, they need to feel comfortable ordering from you first. A professional looking site that is pleasing to the eye may help to encourage customers who are a little hesitant. How you present your business and product is almost as important as the product itself.

Another factor you will want to take into consideration when building an ecommerce website is time. Even if you are doing all of the work yourself, you will still be concerned with the amount of time that it takes for you to complete the entire project. Using ecommerce templates are a much quicker process than designing all of the pages yourself. If you are a novice or inexperienced webmaster, the task of creating several web pages can be very frustrating. Even if there is just a small error in your code, it can mess up the look of the whole page. In some cases, it can even affect the ability of visitors to view your site. If you are constantly checking your source code for errors, it will slow down the whole process of designing the site. In the business world, time is a valuable asset. The sooner your website is finished and uploaded to the server, the sooner you can start earning money through your business online.

The cost to purchase templates for your site is just a fraction of what it would cost you to hire someone to design the whole site from scratch. Good quality templates can be purchased for fewer than one hundred dollars. The cost to hire a webmaster or team of technical workers to design your site can easily end up costing you thousands of dollars. If you can design a quality website for less money, using ecommerce templates can be a valuable resource.

If you check around online, you will discover that there are many successful ecommerce stores and websites that used templates when building their site. Templates are a very popular choice among those designing their first website and individuals who have a limited knowledge of HTML. In fact, the number of websites designed by the use of templates outnumbers the number of custom designed sites.
