Web Template

How do you use a web template? First you can find many free already designed templates on the web and you can customize them for your own style and purpose. I grabbed "Tomatoes" from http://www.freecsstemplates.org/ and changed the header, body color, and text in the content using Dreamweaver. I'm not sure that this was faster than creating from scratch but some people think you can save time. It would depend on what the client wants. You can show a client web templates and use one that they like instead of re-inventing the wheel.
