HTML Website Templates

This lesson discusses HTML website templates (basically a prebuilt website where you can fill in the blanks).

One question many people ask before learning HTML is "Do I have to be good at design?".

The answer to that is "Not at all!".

OK, if you want a career building websites, it can help if you are a good designer. But, this is not essential. Many web developers either outsource their design to a professional designer, or purchase HTML website templates. They prefer to concentrate on building the actual website rather than designing the website.

An HTML website template is basically a prebuilt website, where you, the developer, can modify as required. All the HTML/CSS code and images are included in the template, and a good template will be compatible with most modern browsers. Some website templates come with a flash version and a non-flash version (i.e. HTML version).
