Well, let’s deal with the opportunities and further nuances of ready-made web templates.
Below are five important guidelines that will help to look into your future website even deeper and avoid mistakes when choosing the design solution to create its foundation.
It is important to pay attention to :
- The presence of hidden links. Developers often inserted them into the template code. Of course, if you even know a bit about programming, you likely can manually clean your theme files from unnecessary and unneeded options. But in some cases it is easier to find the same template ( only without the extra links) on any other site. As for the links in the basement ( of course if it is one ), which refers to the developer’s website, you can leave it as a charge for the template. However , it is better to hide it from being indexed.
- Support of widgets. If you are an experienced web-master, this item will not be a big deal for you. All that is needed can be written in the code. But for a beginner is much easier to customize the theme with support of widgets.
- Number of columns, the presence of widgets in the footer, location of sidebars. Try to choose what you like and what will be convenient for users.
- Space availability for the ad units and banners. It is also an important point, since it does not always work to fit banner code or block with contextual advertising harmoniously, so that it looks good and has a normal CTR ( clickthrough rate ) .
- Font, font color and size, should be easily readable and can be combined with elements of the blog .
