Should Designers Use Templates?
Templates are becomming more and more popular to use. Even professional designers use templates to help cut costs in production but still provide professional websites. I invite your thoughts on this.

Using templates is up to the designer. They should make sure that they give credit where credit is due though since they in effect didn’t actually design that site even if it was customized by them. Especially if its for their client.

I’ve used templates for my clients and its worked out very nice. Clients are really impressed with the layout and professional feel. I add content, logic, etc to get their own feel to the site. I never portray myself as the designer of the site and usually in the footer give credit to the original designer.

Thank you for your comments thus far. I too agree that with the level of creativity and design that these professional website templates provide, credit is due to the designers.

Hello, I’ve used a professional website template and found it great to promote my modeling career. I still yet need to get the hosting, etc. I did find great tips from your help pages and once I get it up and going I will post it here to show everyone. I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to design so professional website templates are great!

Web site templates are always a nice thing to use for quick but nice looking sites. I’m sick of these My Space looking sites and feel that if you don’t know how to design a site, at least use a Professional Website Template.

I use templates and have tweaked them just fine with no problems. I have noticed that some templates are a little easier to tweak, but all in all they seem to be easy to customize.
