Once a website starts making money it seems that the design is never good enough. We are always trying to change the colors, make a quick fix here and there, anything to improve on what we already have.

Websites that are NOT making money usually have website owners that have been fooled into believing that SEO is the end all for everything on the Internet. They do not realize it’s a waste of money to try and drive traffic to a website that is unable to convert that traffic into clients.

When it comes to a nice looking custom designed site a template is a good place to start. If you look around you will see that every website is a template, it’s following the same theme from page to page and this makes it a template. A good template can be used as the base of the website design.

Other words, take a template website and customize it for the look and feel that you wanting your website to have.

Anyone that has been online for any amount of time and has been making money online knows that is the little things that increase conversion. Having a good-looking template to start with and fine tuning it, adding in the little things will take you a long ways.

So before you decide that you are totally against using website templates spend a little time looking through some templates and compare those to most web designers portfolio and chances are you will find the templates look better than most of the custom website designs you can come across.
