You\u2019ve probably more than once delivered a design only to wish you had gone through at least one more iteration. We\u2019ve all been through that.<\/p>\n

You know what you\u2019re capable of. It\u2019s more than a little disheartening when you believe you haven\u2019t lived up to your own standards. Tie that in with the desire to constantly improve, and you know there\u2019s still work to be done.<\/p>\n

To make the journey easier for you we\u2019ve put together a checklist of 5 ways to improve your designs. By using pre-built websites \u2013 complete with examples of why they can help.<\/p>\n

Be Theme\u2019s Comprehensive Library of Pre-Built Websites<\/strong><\/p>\n

You take justifiable pride in your designs, or you wouldn\u2019t be in this business. You might be doing yourself a disfavor by trying to improve your work without outside help. Therefore, you can place limitations on what you can achieve by doing so.<\/p>\n

Pre-built websites are not a lazy man\u2019s approach to design, nor do they stifle creativity. What they do is help you get a project off to a quick start. They can give you a solid foundation to build your design on, and help you create better and better designs.<\/p>\n

Pre-built websites provide structure and offer inspiration. They give you all the room you need to apply your creative skills.<\/p>\n

Be Theme<\/strong><\/a> has a library of 390+ pre-built websites. They are organized by content and industry type. They also reflect the latest industry trends and standards, and they can be yours for only $59.<\/p>\n

Checklist: 5 ways pre-built websites can improve your designs <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Am I aligned with the trends in this specific industry? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Keeping up with the latest trends in a given industry can be a challenge. Take the fashion industry for example. Traditionally, fashion websites have been characterized by an abundance of bold images. They feature rich colors and textures, and an overall feeling of luxurious living.<\/p>\n

    This year, fashion websites are taking on a more minimalistic look. They feature simple black and white sketches and loads of white space.<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll find these and other new characteristics in Be Theme.<\/p>\n

    1. Do I know for sure what NEEDS to be on the Homepage?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It\u2019s important to know what NEEDS to be on a homepage. This is because that\u2019s what engages users and encourages them to look further. What you WANT to be on a home page tends to address your needs and not those of the users\u2019.<\/p>\n

      Doing it right takes a mix of art and science, which for many if not most web designers can be a struggle. By using a pre-built website to base a homepage on you\u2019ve solved that problem. In addition, the right structure (the NEED) is already in place.<\/p>\n

      1. Should I Follow or Disrupt?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Web designers could be divided into two categories. There are those who prefer to play it safe (the followers). Then, there are those who get an adrenaline boost by taking one leaf of faith after another. They are the disrupters. You might think the greatest rewards would go to the risk takers.<\/p>\n

        You would be wrong.<\/p>\n

        Most clients tend to be \u201cstiff\u201d or at least cautious when it comes to website design. This is definitely true for corporations and both large and smaller businesses. They all look for tried and true designs that will accomplish what they want them to.<\/p>\n

        A certain amount of creativity goes into the building of each pre-built website. But they\u2019re all rock solid in terms of their structure. You might even say they\u2019re on the somewhat conservative side.<\/p>\n

        1. Which of these 5 different ideas goes best with this project?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you\u2019re afflicted with the too many ideas (TMI) syndrome, it\u2019s not a nice problem to have. Rather than building on one another, multiple ideas tend to get in one another\u2019s way. This is no matter how great any of them may seem.<\/p>\n

          It\u2019s only natural that when you have several great ideas, you\u2019re reluctant to part with any of them. But that\u2019s precisely what you need to do.<\/p>\n
