custom templates vs. generic templates
This entry was posted on 4/29/2007 3:04 PM and is filed under Web Design.
Many clients want to "do it themselves" when it comes to their website. Mainly for budgeting reasons, clients feel that it's not a difficult task to find a template that they like and customize it to their needs. This is all well and good, until you understand what is involved. In this article, I hope to shed some light on this situation.
GENERIC TEMPLATES: Companies, such as templatemonster.com, offer generic templates that are not built for anyone in particular. These templates are at very reasonable rates (example: $55). Sounds like a good deal, right? WRONG. The $55 only lets you have the template... you do NOT own the rights to this design... anyone that sees this design before you...or after you... can have their website looking and feeling the same as your companies website. Any serious company would think twice about allowing their image to be meshed with a competitor or with a fly-by-night company. Well, there's always the "unique price", right? Well, I guess you could go that route...but you would have to be EXTREMELY lucky!!! Here's what i mean: The "unique" price says that, yes! you get this product and no person AFTER you can claim rights to it... however... what about those people who purchased the design BEFORE you at the $55 price? That's right... they can still have your design. So how can you win? SIMPLE....


CUSTOM DESIGN TEMPLATES (from ERT Website Solutions): My designs are custom designed specifically for your company. I create them for YOU and YOU alone. No one before you, or after you, can ever OWN rights to your design. When you purchase one of my designs, it's YOURS. Even if you decide not to purchase one of my designs, they are never resold to anyone, under any circumstances. This is why serious business owners go with my company when they're looking for web design, or even just a template. Why choose generic when you can choose the best! And you can't beat my prices either.
