Some might argue that a "creative website template" is an oxymoron. How a template, something made out of patterns and with repetitiveness in its DNA, can be considered original, one-of-a-kind, and suggest new solutions? Well, I firmly believe it's possible.
What's more, I believe that not only a template can be creative, but the website based on it can be creative and surprise visitors. Just because you don't write the code for your page yourself, doesn't mean that your website has to look dull. Website builders and templates revolutionized the way we think about web creation. Even those people who are not tech-savvy can have a website that will look like no other and leave everyone speechless. With website builders like WebWave, you can customize, personalize and change every element of your website and page template. And that's all possible with no coding knowledge on your end.
To make it even easier for you, I shortlisted the 15 most creative templates from WebWave responsive website templates collection. Browse through them and get inspired to create your project from scratch or pick the one you like the most and use it for free.
