A template is a pre-designed format or layout that can be used as a starting point for creating new documents, websites or other projects. Templates can be created for a wide range of purposes, from resumes and business cards to website pages and email newsletters. They are designed to provide a structure and framework for the content, allowing users to easily add their own text, images and other elements. Templates can be created using a variety of software programs, such as Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, Adobe Photoshop and many others. They can be customised to meet specific needs and preferences and save considerable amounts of time as designers or users do not have to start from scratch.
