MYTHS ABOUT BUYING WEB TEMPLATES, PART
2
9.7.2002 ... Many people believe that when they
shop for a template they need to buy a package that contains 3-5-7-9+ pages which
may already include an about page, FAQ, contact page, ordering, etc. This is simply
not true at all. Why pay $15-$25-$50+ for a multi-page package when all you have
to do is open the initial template page into your HTML editor just like they did
(hopefully it is already named index.html), change the links in the HTML source
code to the links you will name your pages, and then do a File > Save As >
about.html or whatever other name you want to use. Then all your links are in
place already on all your pages. The only think left is to add your body content
which will be different mostly likely on every page anyway. Purchasing
this type of package can be a big mistake. And here is why ... [ READ

regarding how to design a custom 404 error page and why they are important?
If not, read it here. Our
members are now enjoying a nice selection of 5 generic custom 404 error pages.
We say generic because we have left out all the cosmetic elements. All they have
to do is link their style sheet to the page (so the cosmetic elements will match
the rest of their site), determine what their hosting service requires them to
name the file, and upload it to their site. This is a small
example of the freebie extras our members receive in addition to all the other

VISITOR FEEDBACK
"I just purchased some templates from [-snip-].com
- wish I would have heard about your site before doing so. You have so many more
templates to choose from." — Marti [BT Response:
Hello Marti, I wish I had a quarter for every visitor who has made a similar comment
about another web template resource. It would be a very nice supplemental income,
and we wouldn't have to work as hard, or pay out high advertising dollars. ;)
You paid $40 for 25 templates? It would be my guess that these templates have
limited features (just a quick observation) too? Our current count is at 335 web
templates and all are as fully functional as possible and ready for your content,
link URLs, and image manipulation. Not to mention that each template comes with
its own custom designed style sheet. AND new templates are added every week. A
member just told us yesterday that they feel like it is Christmas every week at
BasicTemplates.com. :) lol ... I guess it would seem that way. We truly are the
best value for the quality, quantity and originality on the Internet right now.
I know every site says that, and it really gets confusing for folks. And because
you were so nice to take the time to email us, we will offer you [-snip-] because
we want you to tell all your friends that we ARE what we say we ARE. The best
form of advertising is always from a satisfied customer.] | |

... Our new Referral Program can save you money, make you money OR could potentially
enable you to get a FREE MEMBERSHIP! How does it
work? For every new member who subscribes that you send us, we will pay you $5.00!
This is different than our affiliate program,
because you do not need to place any affiliate link, button or banner on your
website - ever. We have found that a good reputation and word of mouth is the
best form of advertising. Think about this opportunity. If you subscribe, and
then refer several of your colleagues, you could quickly and easily pay for your
membership! Better yet, you could make money too when your referral count exceeds
your initial investment (the price you paid for your subscription)! No kidding!

WE DON'T BLOAT!
What is "BLOAT"? For those who are not familiar with the term in relationship
to membership sites or bulk collections, bloating refers to false claims of quantity
and quality. Many template designers claim 100s or 1000s of templates and in reality
the truth is quite far from that figure. What you get from these unethical designers
is poor quality templates that have merely been colorized or they have created
dozens of "pages" from the same template severely bloating the quantity
claim. This is trickery and says much about the ethics of the designer and about
their template quality. Be wary of any online retailers who use trickery as a
marketing tactic. Products and services should be of high enough quality to sell
themselves which is exactly what BasicTemplates.com is all about. [ Read

| ARGH! TEMPLATES WITHOUT CSS!
Did you unfortunately purchase a template elsewhere that was not built with the
end user in mind? In other words, did the designer carelessly create your template
solely with HTML causing you major headaches when you need to make changes on
all those pages you created from it? Shame on them for such negligence. If you
have such a template and wish us to recreate it for you using CSS, contact
us for a low-cost quotation. We would be pleased to help you get your site
renovated using a template that was designed correctly and will be easy for you
to make changes in the future. Don't be too hard on yourself due to the scam.
We have been approached by many folks just like you who have been taken advantage
of by inexperienced designers. And we can "fix" the messy situation
at an affordable price. ^
