Selecting a template loads all of its pages, sections, and placeholder elements into your editor. From there you replace dummy text with your actual content, swap placeholder images for your own, and adjust colours and fonts to match your brand. The template serves as a structural guide; every element it contains can be modified, moved, or deleted.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Use Templates<\/h2>\n<p>Templates reduce the time needed to build a professional-looking site from scratch, making them a good starting point for businesses that need a website quickly. A consultancy in Hyderabad launching a new service offering, for example, can pick a professional services template, swap in their content, and be live within a day rather than a week. They are also useful when experimenting with different site structures before committing to a final design.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Key Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Once a template is applied to a site, switching to a different template later will overwrite existing pages, so confirm the choice before investing time in content entry. Templates are responsive by default, but you should still preview on mobile after customisation because image choices and text length can affect how sections render on smaller screens.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\">\n<h3>India Example<\/h3>\n<p>An event management company in Mumbai needed a website for a corporate conference. They chose a clean event template in Zoho Sites, replaced the placeholder schedule and speaker sections with actual event details, and published the site in one afternoon. The client-facing site was live well before the registration deadline, without hiring a web agency.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/page-builder-zoho-sites\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Page Builder<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/element-zoho-sites\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Element<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/custom-domain-zoho-sites\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Custom Domain<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/seo-settings-zoho-sites\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">SEO Settings<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\">\n<h3>Are Zoho Sites templates free?<\/h3>\n<p>Most templates are available on all plans, including the free tier.
