Template selection process

As mentioned earlier, I'm in the process of creating my own company's website. The process was started about 3 weeks ago till now. Progress? So far I've managed to filter and selected down to 6 most preferred templates (pre-designed which need some customization) to start with.

Since I'm doing template selection, might as well talk something about template. To make story short and simple, there are many templates available for many purpose. Let's name some: Office templates in Word, Excel, Powerpoint, website, blog, logo and so on. Templates makes life easy as you can have a quick start on task you've plan but don't have much idea to start with thus you can do official letters (Invoice, chart, presentation etc.) or create website like what I'm doing now.

However there are give and take session: Generally you can get the templates in commercial manner (wish is via purchase) or FOC. Regardless of which method, usually you're not allowed to re-distribute it or claim it as your own work. Most of the templates fall under EULA which varies so if you're unsure do go for some reading.

Usually the creator who offers the template will have at least a brief disclaimer note on how user should treat their work. Since this is offered on their good will, we as general user should respect it and try not to exploit their work.

Ok, I guess it's time to start the customization......
