Although templates have given the average person the ability to design his or her own website with relative ease, being able to plug information and graphics into a template does not technically qualify as design or site development. When all you do is upload words and pictures into sections that can accept only predetermined types of content, you\u2019re limited in the ways you can present your information.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a web designer, you want the best for your clients. That means you have to be able to create a design that\u2019s specifically tailored to your customers\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n

Some clients can\u2019t afford a custom design, however, and you\u2019ll have to settle for a template. Happily, a template can provide the foundation for success, even for sales pages<\/a>. Here\u2019s how to make that happen:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Don\u2019t rule out templates<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Some professional website designers discourage their clients from using templates because a template is unlikely to meet the particular needs of a given business. For example, if a website template features a slider at the top of the home page, you can\u2019t necessarily delete it if you\u2019d prefer not to include a slider there.<\/p>\n

    What most companies do in a case like this is to fill up the slider with random content, then do the same for all the other predetermined areas of the template. They upload stock photos where the template calls for photos, even if that wouldn\u2019t reflect their marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

    In essence, the client willingly sacrifices the quality of the site for the sake of saving money.<\/p>\n

    Not all templates are static<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    There are templates that feature a dynamic environment; they allow you to add, remove, and reposition elements around the page. Wix templates<\/a> are one example of this dynamic potential.<\/p>\n

    Wix is a content management system that provides a high level of design freedom which can turn templates into unique websites. The templates are designed in HTML5, and the platform has a drag-and-drop editor that gives the user immense freedom in how the page may be designed.<\/p>\n

    The platform also uses what the firm calls \u201cArtificial Design Intelligence\u201d that can generate a custom website based on the answers to specific questions.<\/p>\n

    If your client insists on using a template, that\u2019s not the end of the world and it doesn\u2019t mean your client doesn\u2019t value your design skills. Some companies just don\u2019t have the cash to design from scratch. But that doesn\u2019t have to limit the project.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Customize the most vital regions of the template<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      For a template to be successful, you have to be able to customize the most essential areas of each page. These may include the style sheet, header, sidebar, footer, and the general layout of the content in the main section of the page.<\/p>\n

      You might want to think about this ahead of time and make a list of \u201cdeal breakers.\u201d For instance, if you need to create a sales page that doesn\u2019t display the site\u2019s main header, only employ a template that allows you to remove the header from individual pages.<\/p>\n

      In fact, most templates that run on a dynamic platform will allow you to remove any element from the individual pages.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Choose a template designed by a professional<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Not all website templates are created casually by amateurs. Not a few are built by professional designers.<\/p>\n

        If you haven\u2019t created your own templates for client projects, it\u2019s not difficult to find someone who has. A look at the reviews posted for the elite authors on Theme Forest<\/a> is all the validation you need. The difference in quality is fairly obvious.<\/p>\n

        Professional designers have mastered the art of incorporating some of the most essential elements of solid design<\/a> into their templates: white space, simple navigation, room for the call to action, and an efficient footer.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Customize the typography<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Not all designers have mastered typography, though. Typography is a separate art, and it\u2019s more practical than aesthetic.<\/p>\n

          When designers build templates, they often use elements of typography that don\u2019t do justice to the rest of the design. Sometimes the font size is too small or it\u2019s an awkward font that distracts from one\u2019s ability to see the template\u2019s rich potential.<\/p>\n

          Typography could make or break the message you\u2019re trying to communicate to your visitors. The 2017 Academy Awards demonstrated this<\/a> in an embarrassing way.<\/p>\n

          During the announcement for the winner for \u201cBest Picture,\u201d the card given to the announcers was actually the one that named Emma Stone as \u201cBest Actress.\u201d Because the words \u201cBest Actress\u201d were at the bottom in small print, Faye Dunaway announced the wrong winner.<\/p>\n

          The titles of \u201cBest Picture\u201d and \u201cBest Actress\u201d should have appeared at the top of each card in large print, rather than the Motion Picture Academy\u2019s \u201cOscars\u201d logo.<\/p>\n

          Give templates a chance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          A template is only a framework. Knowing what to customize will give you the ability to design a truly custom site for your client \u2026 even if you start with a template.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
