Have you decided to make your own website, but do not want to spend a lot of time, effort and money on it? In this case, a good option is to use a ready-made template, on the basis of which you can create the pages of your project.
Website development is a long and rather painstaking work. This is especially evident if you yourself develop the design of your resource and are engaged in page layout. This approach allows you to get a truly original project, but will the result justify the effort? Will you be able to compete on an equal footing with web design professionals who know all the intricacies of this business? There is an option for creating a website that combines a completely professional design of pages with the possibility of finalizing their appearance, taking into account your own idea of the project. It's about using ready-made templates that you can find on the net. There are hundreds of free templates and they are completely free to download. For example, here: https://www.internet-technologies.ru/templates/. There are a lot of similar resources on the Internet, you can always look through the site design options and choose the one that you like. You have found and downloaded a suitable template to your computer - what to do with it next? In order to turn a template into a website page, you need Adobe Dreamweaver, which can also be found on the net. It is a visual website builder that allows you to create even complex projects very quickly. Download and install the program, run it. Now open the template via the file selection menu. Pre-save a copy of the template in one of the folders. The open template is a template for the pages of the future site. Now you need to modify it in accordance with your ideas. Let's say you are creating a master page. Using the capabilities of Dreamweaver, you can easily remove some elements from the template or add them, change the background, font, etc. etc. Do not forget that you will also need a template for the rest of the site pages. Therefore, first work on elements common to all pages, including the home page. Then save the template in two flavors: index.html for the main page and page.html for the rest of the pages. You can then change the names as you see fit. From this point on, both templates are edited separately, while maintaining a certain commonality of their design. Place menu and navigation items, text, and images on your home page. Make it a rule to periodically save page variations under different names - for example, index1.html, index2.html, etc. This will allow you to easily revert to the previous version in case of unsuccessful changes. Based on ready-made templates, you can easily create all the pages of the site. How to evaluate the performance of all elements of the future site? Take advantage of the excellent Denwer utility, which allows you to work with pages located on your computer site as if they were already located on the network. All links, navigation, etc. will work correctly. Using Denwer, you can catch all the errors before the site is online, which will save you a lot of time and effort. Remember that you must already have a domain name at the time of site creation. Without this, you will not be able to create a menu, navigation, etc., because you need to specify specific links. After all the pages of the site are ready and tested by Denver, you just need to find the hosting and put the pages of the site in the public_html folder, then register the names of DNS servers in your account on the domain name registrar's website. After that, your site will start working for about a day.
