Pre-Made Template - Pre-made website layouts are available for those who are adventurous enough to try and fill in the content, manage the back-end, hosting, emails, page titling, and coding all on their own. Think of this like the shell of your website which includes everything graphic, though it is up to the end user to fill out the website. The largest problem with pre-made layout websites is that none of them come with the essential components to help optimize your website for Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.. This means unless you are willing to tweak the Search Engine Optimization for each page of your site on your own, which can be daunting, it can prove to become a huge headache. In the end, what good is a website if nobody can find you online?
