What to Avoid when using Web Templates

To whole point of using a web template is to save time and effort. You just change the title and proper details and you're done. The biggest mistake one makes is to customize the template beyond recognisation. While that may be good in the common sense that you're creating a unique graphic, you're defying the very principle of using a web template -- saving time and effort.

However, on the reverse side, if a template you get is suitable but some changes must be made to suit your site's theme, then you will have to take some time to make the changes. For example, you can find a very nice template that suits your hobby site except the original designer has put an image of stamps in the heading. You can find images of garden plants and spades to replace the stamps for your gardening hobby site. However, do only make the important changes and don't redesign the whole template.

In some situation, some people simply make the wrong choice of templates. This is a very prejudiced issue but you have to be cautious in selecting templates to suit your audience. Do not choose templates just because they are pretty, choose them because they hand out your purpose.
