Templates for Websites
Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes
Believe it or not all of the Templates for Rise & Grind throughout the years have been free. I usually have maybe 3 backup templates ready to roll whenever I get tired of looking at it. Usually I get emails of people asking me where I get the templates from so this is the post to answer that email.
- TemplateMonster.com – has too many websites for any format you want in this world for cheap. From blogs, ecommerce, joomla,pligg and any format your hear desires. Most are like dirt cheap when you think about it as most people don’t change as often as I do. If you have a small business this site has plenty of PROFESSIONAL business templates for dirt cheap!
- Web2Feel.com – the majority of the site is free and have basic WordPress blog templates. WordPress now is able to be used to set up plug and play E-commerce sites so they have some free ones there too. I personally like the website the guy creates.
- Search Google – You can type in free WordPress websites in GOOGLE and usually someone has made a list of the top 100 free for 2012 or whenever. So they’ll direct you to some sites that you can download them for free and then upload them to your website.
Now as you know I’m not a tech kat at all so if I can figure how to manipulate them so can you. Most of them are so easy it’s just filling out certain areas and then clicking OK. I probably look for new wordpress blog templates once a month and when one jumps out at me I usually try to play with it behind the scenes for a month.
Every download has a file which contains all the images for that file. You can open those images and change them and you have effectively changed your website when you upload the whole package. Again, I’m not a tech kat but since people assume I know what I’m doing I thought I’d better explain game.
It’s not as hard as you think and you really don’t need to hire anyone to create a blog or website for you. Most of the templates are simple plug and upload. The makers of the templates usually include instructions on how to install it too. So take some time and look through them all and you’ll find you can have a website selling anything up in 30 minutes. They even have plugins for paypal and ebay already on the template so you’re just connecting them to your website.
Extra: You’ll often find out the kats you are paying for your website took one of these sites and changed it a bit and made you pay $400 for it. You could’ve did the same thing for $65 bucks or less or maybe even free!

Interesting little piece of web design right there. Ive heard about these templates but I never realized most of them you could get for free.
My soccer blog hasnt been doing well and I haven’t many any money from there. Just 18 cents from April and that’s it. But maybe I could use the extra and just use it as a replacement hustle.
Off Topic: Do you think I should continue running my blog or sell it or just discard it and start with the extra you gave?
If it’s not costing you anything then keep it. Blogs are a lot of maintenance as you can see from the R&G. So if a person is not actively involved in it then there’s no audience. So one has to learn to find articles to post or find things to talk about otherwise you’ll never make those GOOGLE cents.
The templates just allow you to switch up the design so people won’t get bored. Until you find that signature design it’s best to switch them up as all blog formats are the same it’s just some creative kats will change the way you see it.

How did you make it so that dudes can’t “Cut and Paste” I would like to do the same on my blog realmacktalk.blogspot.com/
At the bottom of the website you’ll see a plugin called WP-Copyright Pro. You can download it for free and it’ll slow the theives down.
