Building HTML/CSS Sites: Use a Template

If you churning out websites frequently, it can be very unproductive to start from scratch each time the basic HTML code . This article looks at creating a reusable, basic template for that purpose.

This is a great idea. I had just recently done the same thing. I can’t believe i was starting from scratch every time! Starting with an “empty canvas” ( all required files created and directories created to start ) saves me a lot of time.

?
why would anyone vote down on this?
sure it’s simple..even simplistic and very obvious (could that be the reason?) but hey, it’s good to do, regardless of skill level.

I agree there really is no need to reinvent the wheel. I always go to CSS tinderbox and use his frameworks as a jumping off point when building a site.

Hi,

If you are developing HTML/CSS websites with occasionally a little bit of JavaScript (just like myself), it can be very un-productive to write your basic codes over and over again.
