Graphic Design
When first designing websites, they often start as a graphic template. We can either create a template from an idea that you have on paper or you can choose a layout design from sites such as www.layoutcookbook.com. Once a graphic template has been completed, it is broken up into smaller image files that are "glued" together with HTML and CSS to form a web template.
Web Templates
Web templates are the basis for the look of most websites. In the most basic cases, websites can simply be just the original template copied a few times and modified with different words (uploading the pages each time they are modified). The risk with doing this is when modifying the templates, you may inadvertently destroy the layout or look of the site. For this reason (and for the reason of simplicity), many people use content management systems. If a web template is used in a content management system, it needs to be modified slightly, inserted and configured into a CMS and then the pages are created with the CMS. However, in most cases you will still need more than 1 (similar) web template for the whole site. For example: 1 home page template, 1 content page template, 1 variation to the content page template will be used to make a site that has 10 pages of content.
