Having been engaged in the web design industry for many years, I have gradually developed a habit. After taking over a new design project, I immediately look for similar templates that can be copied; similarly, many design companies (small-scale companies) do the same Purchasing various design templates and providing them directly to web designers for plagiarism has the direct disadvantage of greatly reducing the cost of many design projects today (of course the cost of project design is lower if you copy the template directly), so low prices will inevitably lead to low design. Low design must use templates! Such a cycle has led to the current website construction industry's threshold getting lower and lower, and it is getting worse and worse.
Currently, a large number of design template resources are popular on the Internet, such as Korean website templates, psd layered templates, VI design templates, etc.; and template website traffic and rankings are very large.
In fact, Lao Lu feels that templates are for people to refer to. To understand advanced design ideas and concepts, the key depends on how designers use them. One's own design ideas are the most important. Everyone doesn't like their ideas to be driven by others. Therefore, it is okay to refer to good templates, find creative inspiration, and then design your own and learn the good things in them.
Still the same sentence: Design comes from inspiration, and inspiration comes from reference. Using other people's templates is a learning process. For me, it is impossible to do every element of the design myself. I think you can use every design element/layer to combine into new things. The key is to understand each element. elements must be applied in place. For example, the illustrations on each of my blog posts use the resources in the template, so I can create a blog post illustration very quickly.
When building a website or blog, what do you think of the various types of template resources currently available online? (Friends are welcome to express their opinions!)
