How to Use WordPress Templates to Design Websites

There are two kinds of web design and development, namely; WYSIWYG or literally "what you see is what you get" web design and templated themes which are based upon themes. In WYSIWYG web design the developer uses an editor like Dreamweaver, Photoshop or InDesign to create the layouts or themes. In templated themes the web developer uses pre-defined themes, which can be modified and edited according to the client's requirements. WordPress is the most popular and versatile Content Management System (CMS) which provides a platform for easy creation of websites. There are many different plugins available for WordPress, which provides advanced features like shopping carts, forums, polls, blog rolls, email services, podcasting, photo galleries and much more.
