One of them is to build your site using one of the many <strong>website templates<\/strong> available on the market.<\/p>\n<p>At Code Web Barcelona, we want to make it clear that as professionals in <strong>web design<\/strong> and <strong>web development<\/strong>, <strong>we do not use templates<\/strong>. In fact, we are firmly against any web design and development studio working this way\u2014especially without informing their clients. That said, <strong>everyone is responsible for their own choices.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019re just starting a business and want to <strong>create your own website without any coding knowledge<\/strong>, you\u2019re probably looking for the most affordable solution. One option you might consider is to <strong>build your business website<\/strong> yourself.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, here are some tips to help you choose the right template from the countless <strong>website templates<\/strong> you\u2019ll find <em>out there on the internet<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to choose the right website template<\/h2>\n<h3>Which platform will you use?<\/h3>\n<p>First, decide which platform you\u2019ll use to build your website. <strong>We recommend WordPress<\/strong>. It\u2019s the most <strong>intuitive<\/strong> and user-friendly option. The key will be which template you choose.<\/p>\n<h3>Looks matter<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re picking from a range of templates, it goes without saying that it should look good. Make sure the template follows a <strong>modern, up-to-date web design style<\/strong>. If you\u2019re not an expert, we suggest <strong>looking for web design inspiration<\/strong>. Of course, don\u2019t expect the same spectacular results as a custom-designed site, but a template can still serve as a useful guide.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the design fit your business?<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t sacrifice relevance for aesthetics. If you find an amazing template, <strong>make sure it matches your brand image<\/strong>. For example, if you run a pest control company, a <strong>photography portfolio template<\/strong>\u2014which likely relies on large, high-impact images\u2014probably isn\u2019t the best fit. No one wants to see insects or rodents in full-screen 4K.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mrputteful-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-813\" src=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mrputteful-1.jpg\" alt=\"mrputteful\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Okay, this image is really cool.\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/missborderlike.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">By\u00a0missborderlike<\/a>. Still, it\u2019s not a good idea for your website to swing from one extreme to another. The image above is super cute, but the text doesn\u2019t really match the style. You get the idea, right?<\/p>\n<h3>Is the color palette easy to customize?<\/h3>\n<p>Check if the template shows images or videos of the <strong>customization options<\/strong> and features it offers. It\u2019s a big plus if the template includes an <strong>easily customizable color palette<\/strong>, so you can switch to your company\u2019s brand colors.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you upload your logo from the admin panel?<\/h3>\n<p>Similar to the previous point, it\u2019s important that you can <strong>easily upload your company logo<\/strong> directly from the template\u2019s control panel. Otherwise, you\u2019ll have to dive into the code and upload files via FTP\u2014which, if you\u2019ve never done it before, is not fun.<\/p>\n<h3>Beware: images can be deceiving!<\/h3>\n<p>Most <strong>website templates<\/strong> showcase <strong>stunning images<\/strong>. This can be misleading, because if the images you use to replace the demo ones aren\u2019t up to par, your site will lose a lot of its appeal. This is often overlooked, and that\u2019s when the end result can look, well, pretty rough.<\/p>\n<h3>Make sure the template is responsive<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re buying a template, <strong>make sure it\u2019s fully responsive<\/strong> and adapts to all devices and screen sizes. These days, <strong>more users browse on mobile devices<\/strong> than on desktop. So pay special attention to this. Also, don\u2019t just check if the layout adjusts\u2014test the usability. Is it easy to navigate your site on a smartphone using this <strong>template<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/blog\/diseno-web-responsive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you want to learn more about good responsive web design, check out this article.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Check if the template developers offer support<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes things don\u2019t work as expected. You might update the template or its plugins and suddenly something breaks\u2014or the whole layout falls apart. <strong>See if there\u2019s a dedicated development team behind the template<\/strong>. Many template marketplaces have a comments section where users report bugs or issues. The best template developers <strong>offer support and are active<\/strong> in these forums. Sometimes they\u2019ll even ask for access to your site to fix issues directly. There are companies that focus solely on selling templates and are invested in keeping their customers happy. <strong>It\u2019s worth working with these kinds of templates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Typical price range<\/h3>\n<p>WordPress templates typically cost <strong>between \u20ac30 and \u20ac100<\/strong>. There are also free templates available, but whatever you choose, make sure it meets the criteria above.<\/p>\n<h3>Be patient<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s not as easy as it looks, even though much of the process is automated. <strong>Issues will likely come up<\/strong> and you\u2019ll need to solve them. We\u2019ve received plenty of calls to fix problems with sites built using <strong>website templates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/plantillas-para-paginas-web-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-814\" src=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/plantillas-para-paginas-web-1024x587-2.jpg\" alt=\"plantillas para paginas web\" width=\"1024\" height=\"587\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the largest marketplaces for website templates is Envato\/ThemeForest.
