Next is, try to search the Internet for free web templates that more or less gives you the same look you want for your design. If you fine, then you problem is solved. You only have to tweak it to get the exact design you want. If on the other hand you do not find any, then you have to build it from scratch. However, this is not advisable if you are still a newbie.

3. If there are things that you want to change in the template so it becomes more to your liking, you can tweak it to something that suits you more. For example,  if you do not like the background, you can change backgrounds. You can do this by looking for the background tag in your code. This could be in html form or in CSS. Either way, you can easily change the value of the background to something you think is more appropriate. Another thing you can easily change is the color of the fonts. To do this, you just have to search for the font-color tag. Then just change the value of the color to the value that you prefer.
4. From hereon, you can experiment on the things that you want to change. You can even add flash templates to your layout. Just make sure that you keep a backup copy of your codes since it can be very easy to get errors on your page when you edit and you are not yet entirely sure of what you are doing.
