Default Template Builders for Websites and Blogs

I'm always looking at templates because I can't design worth a lick

I found this last nite going thru my bookmarks looking for a template to replace PW

http://mashable.com/2007/11/18/10-template-generators/

I haven't tried any of them yet. It looks like they can build the basic framework of a template--HTML and CSS--that you can tweak from there.

Very cool, MikeD, thanks. I'm getting ready to redesign my SBI! site and this may come in handy. Like you, I'm not really much of a designer so this is always a big chore. Ugh!

Question quick question

Sitesell is what i am choosing to host my upcoming website. The thing is though, when i see all the websites by people, made by Sitesell they all look a bit basic. Would i still be able to make it look really nice like:

www.g4tv.com

for example.

I am in the process of redesigning my entire SBI! site using Dreamweaver so I'm dumping the sitebuilder format. You can do whatever you want as long as you follow the instructions SBI provides for "Uploading Your Own HTML".

You don't have to use the Block By Block builder. But I will say, if you're new to design, it's better to just start out with the regular SBI design because it took some WORK to go outside the box. Since SBI! is not a regular host, you have to follow specific instructions for uploading your own custom designs. BUT the instructions were very easy to follow... just took some time.

I got tired of the traditional SBI design myself so decided to take the plunge and try it. It took some work because you have to follow the instructions but so glad I did it.

I'll be launching it soon so you guys can see. So glad to have it done!

Thank you Lisa

I thought that was the case but i just wanted to make sure

I did a bit of web design last year at secondary school and hopefully, in my next year of college, i will be able to do the web design course available there.

Kane,

I share exactly the same feeling I thought that precisely when I saw numerous SBI! websites but in fact these simplistic sites make profits and that's why I have gone and purchased SBI!

I think SBI! does have limitations on databases etc. but I think its all on its way. So there's not much to worry about for me the brainstorming tools are fabulous and I could quite easily pay the full SBI! price just for those tools.

These are just some of the things:

Blogs, forums, cms, anything related to Databases and PHP basically its just simple and plain HTML and CGI but its definitely worth it without these extra features.
