5 Reasons Why You Should Consider A Website Template For Your Blog
Website templates have been increasingly popular in the last year as people are looking for a quick and budget-friendly way to launch their business with a beautiful online presence. On top of giving personalized and premium coaching to my clients here at The Brilliant Blogger, I’m excited to announce that I’ve launched my first and newest website template, the Melo template, with much more to come.
A website template is a pre-designed web page or set of pages that can be customized and personalized to create a unique website that matches your brand. Website templates are a great alternative to traditional web design that can save tremendous time, money, and effort while giving a professional and visually appealing look online.
While I do love the personal touch of working directly with my clients to set their blog up for success through excellent web design experience, I also wanted to give them a budget-friendly alternative to confidently launch their business on their own with the same excellence they expect when working alongside me.
If this alternative sounds like something that you’re looking for, I’ve got great news. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing 5 reasons why you should consider a website template when launching your blog.
Reason #1: Website Templates Can Save You Time
Maybe you’ve been here before: You’ve spent countless hours on YouTube and blogs trying to design and launch your website from scratch because you were told that it was “simple” to do. However, the important parts about coding, testing, troubleshooting, were skipped. Mistakes were made and now things are WORSE than they were before delaying your launch and setting back your business.
With website templates, the hard work is already done for you. Design, layout, and elements built into the template helps you skip the initial design phase. This is a colossal time saver, especially if you’re looking to establish an online presence quickly.
Reason #2: Website Templates Are Easy On the Budget
(This is a BIG one) I get it. Hiring a web designer can be a hefty investment especially if you’re starting out. Website templates can help you significantly reduce costs since you’re not playing directly for custom web design and development. Website templates are often more affordable than hiring a team to build a website from scratch because you’re taking the “done-for-you” route. Additionally, website templates are available at a relatively low cost, making them accessible to a wide range of budgets that fits yours.
Reason #3: Website Templates Offer Design Consistency
Have you ever surfed the web and seen a website that has various different colors, elements, and themes? By the time you click on the second page, you’re wondering if you’re on the same website because nothing looks cohesive? With web design templates, you don’t have to worry about that.
Web design templates are designed by professionals who understand the basics of design fundamentals and aesthetics, UX (user experience) considerations, and response design for various devices. This means that the template's elements, typography, colors, and layouts are already optimized for a clean, cohesive and visually pleasing look. Consistency in design enhances user experience, reinforces your brand identity, and makes your website more polished, professional and trustworthy.
Reason #4: Website Templates Are Responsive and Mobile-Friendly
There’s nothing worse than viewing a website on your laptop but seeing that same website on a desktop format on your mobile device. Modern website templates are built with responsiveness in mind. This means they are designed to adapt and display correctly on various devices and screen sizes, including smartphones and tablets. Ensuring a mobile-friendly user experience is essential, as many web users access websites from their mobile devices. Templates take care of responsive design, saving you the effort of coding and testing for different screen sizes.
Reason #5: Website Templates Give You Customization Flexibility
While templates come with pre-made layouts and designs, they are often highly customizable. Website templates give you the freedom to personalize your colors, fonts, images, and content to match your brand and messaging. Many templates also include options for adding or removing sections, widgets, and features. This allows you to personalize your template to your specific needs and create a website that reflects your unique brand identity without starting from scratch.
In short, website templates offer a wide range of benefits that make them an attractive choice for your business if looking to establish an online presence. They save time and money, provide a professional and consistent design, ensure mobile responsiveness, and offer customization options. One important thing to note: When selecting a template, it's important to choose one that aligns with your brand and content needs while considering factors like usability and future scalability.
Our first and newest website template, the Melo Template, offers each of the benefits listed above along with other special perks to create a premium template designing experience. Learn and experience how the Melo template can transform your online presence today.
