What is a website template?
A website template is a pre-designed website layout ready to be personalized and launched. Unlike custom websites, templates can be sold to multiple users, each of whom can then tailor their content, add extra pages, and make their own adjustments. The primary goal of website templates is to streamline the website design process and reduce costs.
Is it better to buy a template or hire a webdesigner?
Website designer is here to create a fully-custom website that's tailored to your business. This will be a one-of-a-kind website that will reflect your unique brand and vision. The process typically takes a minimum of 1 month, so expect a fee that covers the whole timeframe as well as any additional expenses. This option is ideal if you have budget of over $500 (depending on the complexity of your website) and find a designer who understands your vision. Purchasing a website template, however, is a more cost-effective and time-saving solution which also leaves some space for your creativity - in case you wish to customize your template to make it feel more like YOU. Website templates are perfect for start-ups and bloggers who don't have time to learn webdesign and don't want to spend money on employing webdesigners. Since most templates are designed by website designers, the customer will still benefit from professional design while keeping the cost at bay.

How much should you pay for a Wix template?
There is no universal answer to this question. While a typical template costs anywhere between $20 to $300, the prices vary significantly depending on the type of a website, number of pages, complexity and designer's skills. Website templates containing designer fonts, paid stock images, advanced functionalities and code tend to be more expensive. Here at Distinctive Website, my goal is to make good-looking templates available to everyone. That's why our prices start at $39!
The cost of a website template vs webdesigner's fees
Investing in a website template can save you hundreds, if not thousands of $. While the cost of a custom small business website starts at around $1200, a website template typically costs less than 1/10 of the price.
