Question 1

What Are Website Templates?

Accepted Answer

A website template, or website theme, is a pre-made site layout, offering users a publish-ready website. Each template provides a selection of pages and mockup content like paragraph and image blocks to give you an idea of what to include on the website.

Hostinger Website Builder offers free, responsive, designer-made website and online store templates, unlike other platforms that charge for premium templates.

Question 2

Why Should I Use Website Builder Templates?

Accepted Answer

Website layout templates don’t require web design experience and programming skills, making them perfect for anyone wanting to create their first website. Templates save much time as you don’t need to design your site from scratch. You also tend to spend less money on the site overall, as you can launch it without the help of a web designer or creative agency.

Expert designers are responsible for creating the website templates, so you’ll have a professional-looking web presence from the beginning. Many templates also have built-in functionality and widgets for specific purposes, like a contact form in a personal portfolio template and a shopping cart for an online store.

Question 3

What Makes a Good Web Design Template?

Accepted Answer

Good website templates should be fully responsive, use HTML5, and follow modern design principles and trends.

On top of that, a good template should suit your needs. For example, a corporate business can have a simple layout to maintain professionalism, and creative professionals can opt for more fun designs.

Question 4

How Do I Use Website Design Templates?

Accepted Answer

First, select the most suitable website template by previewing several options to see how different templates look. Once you find the right template, purchase a web hosting plan and personalise the layout. Use the drag-and-drop editor to add features like new pages, social media feeds, and contact forms. Once you’re satisfied with the design, connect the template to a domain and launch your website.

Question 5

Can I Add More Pages to My Chosen Template?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can customise your site using our site builder, including adding more pages to your chosen template. Simply go to Pages and navigation → Add page. You can add some pages to your main navigation menu and hide selected ones. It’s also possible to include some pages in dropdown menus.

Question 6

Do I Need to Know HTML to Customise My Theme?

Accepted Answer

No, the drag-and-drop site builder is a visual builder, so knowing HTML to design your website isn’t required. Just choose the element or section on the page you want to edit, add new elements to the page from the menu, and drag it to your preferred position. The built-in grid will help you align all elements properly.

Question 7

How Do I Choose a Template for My Website?

Accepted Answer

Consider your goals when choosing a layout template for your new site. Are you setting up an online store? Is your website more about personal stories and needs a blog? Do you need multiple pages or prefer to keep it simple with a one-page project? A website builder generally groups several purposes and designs together for your convenience.

Question 8

Are Website Builder Templates Free to Use?

Accepted Answer

All templates are included with Hostinger’s web hosting plans and are free to use. Simply log in to your Hostinger account or purchase a hosting plan first, and then access over 100 website designs for free.

Yes, Hostinger’s website templates are optimised for search engines. Rest assured that the templates load fast, have neat sitemaps, and come with built-in SEO tools.

Question 10

How to Find a Mobile-Friendly and Responsive Website Template?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Hostinger’s templates are fully mobile-responsive, so your website will look splendid no matter what device visitors use. You can also customise the mobile version of your website separately to ensure it’s functional and beautiful, no matter the screen size.

Question 11

Will My Site Look Unoriginal if I Use Website Design Templates?

Accepted Answer

Whether your site looks unoriginal or not when you use a template depends on how much you customise your pages. For example, if you need a minimal portfolio template and don’t have much time to personalise the design, you might end up with a website that looks similar to others. If these other websites, however, are not related to your industry, having a similar look is okay.

Thankfully, editing pages and page sections on-site is fast and easy with the visual drag-and-drop editor. Make time to adjust the colour scheme, logos, and images to suit your brand. If you want a truly unique design, get creative with blank templates instead.

Question 12

Can I make changes to my website after I’ve published it?

Accepted Answer

Making changes after the website is live is both possible and easy. You may want to update your portfolio, add new functionality because your online business has evolved, or start a blog to showcase your expertise. When this happens, simply go to the website editor, make the changes you want, and update the website.

Question 13

What Kind Of Website Templates Can I Choose From?

Accepted Answer

Some of our template categories include eCommerce, portfolio, business, resume, and blog templates. Have an idea you want to bring to life? Opt for a blank template to get full creative freedom.

Question 14

Can I Change the HTML Code of My Website?

Accepted Answer

While you can’t directly edit the code of your template, adding custom code to your pages is possible. This way, you can add interactive features without coding, like widgets, infographics, animations, and more.
