A website template or theme defines the overall structure, layout and visual style of your site. Different platforms use the terms interchangeably – the design framework that shapes how your website looks and behaves.
Templates and themes define website elements such as:
- Layout – how content is structured and positioned across pages
- Navigation and branding – placement and styling of menus, logos and headers
- Mobile responsiveness – how the site adapts across different screen sizes
- Typography and colours – fonts, colour palettes and spacing that reflect your brand identity
In platforms like WordPress and Squarespace, themes are a starting point rather than a fixed design. We configure and tailor them to suit your business goals and branding.
How do we choose the right design approach?
When we start a project, we’ll ask for:
- Your current branding assets (logo, colours, fonts)
- Examples of websites you like – competitors or simply styles you admire
- Any specific layout preferences or functionality you need
This helps us understand the visual identity you want to convey. From there, we’ll select and configure a theme that supports your goals, ensuring the final result is cohesive, professional and easy to manage.
