BasicTemplates.BIZ, a division of BasicTemplates.com is home to the Internet's #1 Choice for quality, easy-to-edit website templates utilizing external cascading style sheets and interchangeable, removable graphics.
Located in the rolling hills of southeastern Ohio, we have been developing effective website templates since 1994. In 1999 our founders established our popular web template membership service, BasicTemplates.com. The first innovative website template membership site on the Internet.
Most website owners spend most of their time looking for just the right template or chasing down the designer who can wow their visitors with the latest technologies. Most website template designers will tell you that finding that just-right template in their collection is the first thing you should do because they naturally want to make a sale.
We take a more effective approach and educate our customers on how to develop an effective website that provides their visitors with quality content and easy navigation. We'll tell you upfront that the graphics you use do not matter and they can be added at any time.
Don't waste your valuable time fretting over what graphics to use when you can be writing your page content. But wait! Before you even start writing your website content, you need to do two other critical steps:
1) Write down your website goals - It's not enough to say you want to be making X amount of money in 3 months. You need to be more detailed.
2) Know who you want to visit your website. This means you need to understand these people inside and out. And you need to know where to find them both online and offline.
3) When you complete these two critical steps, then you can begin to write your content.
Do not purchase a web template or hire a web designer until you have completed these 3 important steps in this order. If you want to know more about how to develop an effective website while your competitors are fussing over their graphics, visit our sister site, Effective-Website-Secrets.com. You can download our free podcasts and learn at your leisure. Pass our podcasts around to your friends too - no problem.
When You are Ready to Begin Developing Your Website
After you have set your goals, analyzed your market and have written your website's content, come back to BasicTemplates.BIZ and choose an "effective" website template. We recommend using a fixed width, center justified layout with a removable header graphic image.
Why are We Different than other Web Template Designers?
We're glad you asked. Not only have we been developing effective website templates since 1994, we have been developing the majority of our designs in a manner that assists the end user (You!) in designing a website very easily and at an affordable fee. Our designs are far more flexible than any you will find elsewhere and here's why:
- All of our HTML CSS Website Templates were developed using External CSS (cascading style sheets) and many utilize the concept of interchangeable web page components. Removable header graphics is a perfect example.
- Most of our designs that have removable header graphic capabilities can be licensed for only $5.00 USD each.
- We don't use expensive, Flashy software to create our templates, and so you are not required to use any specific (and expensive) software to edit our design. Our templates functions well with all the popular, FREE and inexpensive HTML editors.
- We do not require you to link back to our website - ever.
- We do not require you to re-purchase the same template if you need to use it as a baseline design for another website.
- Our designs are clean and easy to edit regardless of your design experience level.
- You can have your site up and running in minutes with very little cost while your competitors are still fretting over their graphics and paying more than $30 per template. Unfortunately for them, (and good for you!), they are stuck or boxed into that one specific theme or design.
- For those customers who understand that marketing is the key to any online business, our templates are an excellent choice for A/B split testing your website's effectiveness and conversion rate. This is a concept 99.9% of our competitors do not understand.
- You can use our template layouts as a time-saving starting point or as a fully-functional web site just as you receive them (including your own customizations and content, of course). We do not require you to make excessive changes to our original template to make it "look different". After all, you purchased a template to save you time. So why would you want to spend hours re-modifying it?
- Our fast loading designs were strategically developed by experienced "web designers" not "graphics designers". Most of the fancy website templates you see with tons of unnecessary, heavy graphics were developed by graphic designers - not web designers. There is a big difference. Although these fat templates look nice, you won't find many of the sites that use them making any serious money.
- Google AdSense has become quite popular. Why? Because people are making some serious money with this affiliate program. Google too is trying to educate people how to develop effective websites with original, quality content. Now we can look forward to helping people move away from that pretty web template that isn't helping them make money, and onto an effective web design template for their site. That effective web design template is from BasicTemplates.BIZ of course! Our designs are far more flexible, easy to use, maintenance is a breeze, and affordable for everyone. To the surprise of many webmasters, developing your website is the easiest part of all and it should be fun! It's a Fact! Every website you see that is making serious money with Google AdSense ($5,000+ a month) is NOT using one of those notoriously fat templates that box you into one design. That we know first hand because we personally know a number of people who receive their AdSense checks via express mail service from Google. That means they are likely pulling in more than $10,000 per month. ChaChing!
- Although we don't specially teach web design, we have written 100s of originally authored tutorials, articles and tips for our customers. Our articles were written by the same designers who developed our templates, and are not reprints we simply copy/pasted from unknown or inexperienced resources.
- In addition to the many articles we regularly write, we provide FREE technical support for our original templates, a Knowledge Base, and FAQs for our customers.
- You also get FREE access to our extremely popular podcast radio show. We are listed in the Top 4 of our search category at iTunes and have been featured within the Top 25 Most Popular Podcasts at iTunes many, many times! We were also featured on iTunes homepage in late 2005. Why is our podcasts so popular? Because people are ready for the truth. They want to know why their website is not making money even though it looks "professional". And they want to start making money now! They don't know where to begin.
Let's Compare You and Your Competitors, Shall We?
While your competitors are busy worrying about how to keep those sliced and diced template images lined up or how to edit that flashy banner in the new expensive software they had to buy, you are establishing goals. You are analyzing your market, and writing lots of good quality content. You then buy an effective web template from BasicTemplates.BIZ and add your content quickly using our template to-do checklist as a generic guide. You procure web hosting from one of our reputable partners (or you can use your own web hosting company), upload your new website to your server, start promoting your website based on the marketing research you conducted, and your website is being indexed by the search engines before you know it. You are starting to see the money come in and you see you might reach your goal quicker than you imagined.
What are your competitors doing by that time? They might have a few pages built, but they can't figure out how to get people to visit their website. They didn't set goals. They didn't analyze their market. They didn't write any content prior to playing with the expensive template they purchased. Now they are stuck with a website that took too much of their valuable time, and it's not close to being finished. They lost their money on the fat template with non-removable graphics they purchased and all of those months of web hosting fees are gone.
Doesn't it seem backwards to you? Well, yes it is! And that is why most of the websites you see online today don't make any money. They were indeed developed backwards.
So now that you have your website built, and you are getting targeted traffic to your website, you decide you want to do some web marketing research and testing to reach a higher goal. You want to see if the header graphic in your template has any effect on your sales, optins, etc., so you buy a related theme header from BasicTemplates.BIZ and conduct A/B testing to further increase your website's conversion.
Your competitor? Oh dear. If they ever finished their websites, they are stuck with one sliced and diced, ineffective design. A/B testing their website in this manner isn't possible unless they completely re-design their website's original template or have someone else do it. Phew! Don't you just feel a wee-bit sorry for them? ;)
Okay, so now you know that there is a difference between an effective website and one that just looks nice, right? Which one would you rather have? I'm betting that your goal is to likely to make money and not just look pretty. You'd love to see that express mail package come from Google every month. Am I right? Who wouldn't? I don't think I know of anyone (who wants to make money online) who would say that they are happy that their website just looks cool. But if there are people with that mindset, I'm glad, and so should you. You and I are both that much farther ahead in the effective web development process.
