Template Question

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but since its related to webdesign I'll post it here.
I want to start making website templates. Designing websites is not new to me but what to include in a template is. When making templates do you just create pages with your own text an have buyers replace the text with their own? In what format should templates be? Thanks

 

you can follow this http://www.wpdesigner.com/2007/02/19/so-you-want-to-create-wordpress-themes-huh/ if you want to make wordpress templates . or get few ideas what yu should include

 

Thanks for the link

I already know how to make Wordpress templates because its clear what should be included. But I just wonder what all those people making website templates out there sell exactly. Just css and an index file with images or more?

 

They sell the coded template.

Download a few (free ones) and have a look.

 

Thanks for the reply

I already did that but they're mostly just an index, css file and a few images. Thought templates were usually made up out of a few separate pages.
I'll browse some more free templates to see the differences.

 

Well i guess it'll all depend on what the template is for,
but i usually, just add dummy content to them (http://lipsum.com/)
it makes it all that easier to change the text for users, gives them sort of a guide line to follow.

 

we have just 2 free templates but you can download them and see what flash template includes and what html template includes:

Good luck in creating templates
