Any successful site online has got some sort of overall design structure. Without a good structural design of navigation, headers, footers, and content it would be extremely difficult to get around even the simplest of sites. Fortunately there are a number of places you can find pre made templates that will set up the structure for you and all you need to do is enter your personalized content to make the site your own, and many of these templates can be found free of cost.
Getting around your site if every page was different colors and had the navigation links in different places, would be very frustrating and users would leave quickly. A template is a page for your site that only needs to be created once that includes all this design and link structure information with the content of each page left blank. You then make a copy of this template for each page in your site, rename it, fill in the content, and repeat.
So where do you look for free site templates that will get you started? One of the best places to find good templates is right in your web hosting panel. Most web hosts today use the same interface software called cPanel. CPanel includes a number of different template options right in the site builders tab. Some of the options within cPanel are even step by step methods which require absolutely zero preexisting knowledge to create. Just follow their steps and a site based on the template of your choice will be created for you. If your web hosting provider doesn't use cPanel the panel interface they do use likely offers some similar template options.
If you would like a little more freedom with your template to edit and change things in it to your own custom and specific liking there are many downloadable options that will give you the template files directly and you can edit them or fill them in just like any other HTML file.
Simply Google "website template" or "free website template" for a large number of options. Many of these template sites include both free and pay templates. The pay ones are usually of better design, as well as a far less probability that other sites will have the same look and feel that yours does.
Another option for a site is a WordPress blog which is becoming one of the most popular methods of site building. WordPress blogs are very simple to create using a small form in your web hosting panel and once you are given access to the WordPress admin dashboard after creation they have a very easy to find "theme" area that will offer hundreds of free blog templates to choose from that are very adaptable to almost any site you would like to create.
