Webmasters, web designers, web programmers and coders are aware of the use and value of website and cool flash templates. Templates are nothing but ready-made designs which can be modified, edited and customized to one’s needs, as required for a particular website. Templates can also be compared to stencils in layman’s language, but a bit more than that in practice.

Many web development teams and firms prefer custom designs from the ground up. But that is not only prohibitively costly sometimes, but also requires huge time for detailed and high-profile designs. Custom designs are typically preferred for high-budget projects which require uniqueness and there’s enough time available for development. But what is to be done in case of low to mid budget web development projects which might have a fast completion target? The answer is to use Website Templates. Just edit them, customize, put your info and design is ready!

There are basically 2 types of templates available : Web Templates (both flash and non flash) and flash intro templates. Website templates generally have a source PhotoShop file in addition to a sample HTML page with required images and CSS. The source file is edited as required (e.g.-logo, colors, texts, etc.) and finally exported into sliced images, resulting in a compete customized version ready to be used on a particular website. There might also be a Flash version bundled with it having the source FLA file. It can be customized using a Flash editor.

Flash animations look really cool and attracts visitors on a website. Flash animation templates are also available separately for different purposes. One major use of Flash animations is in website or presentation intros. I guess you have visited various websites which have a preloader with Flash Intros before you are taken to the main website.
