After my previous blog post I thought I should revisit the use of the Ca’n Piafort template example I discussed. The Alcudia Majorca web site has been developed using a similar template design and it looks pretty good. This is a great example of how a template can be developed for a site and then reused for a site with similar content. In fact the Alcudia Majorca site not only uses the same template system, but the actual place is also a nearby resort! By re-using the same template the site was developed in a very short time and therefore this is a good example of a templating system in use.

Most web designers like to re-use a well designed web page via Templates. It can take days to design a good looking web site so when a designer is happy with his design it makes sense to roll out that design, possibly with a few minor tweaks. A web designer recently explained how he had developed his own template design system for tourism web sites. An example of his work is on the newly created Ca’n Picafort site.

When setting up a web site to promote or sell a product there is little doubt that the page design has a massive influence on the success or failure of a web site. A good and attractive page design builds confidence in the visitor wheras a shabby amateurish effort will give the impression that a shabby amateurish organisation may offer low quality products or poor service. If you are setting up a web site to represent your firm or your organisation then pay attention to this.
