Making a custom template is like throwing a party, which requires some planning to be a success. We have to decide the theme food, drinks, decorations, guest list, location, and invite the guests before we can have the party. To create a custom template we need to decide on a theme and then prepare a layout to act as the location on which we will hang our presentation elements such as images, fonts, and colors.

A template is more than just pictures;  it also organizes and presents the contents of a blog in a meaningful way. Themes help us focus on our goals. The theme will help us make decisions about the look and feel of the template. The category of theme should set the tone of the blog to be friendly, whimsical, serious or formal.

Use existing logos and other company materials for color palettes, tone, and image assets. Guided our choice of fonts. Limit the color palette. Choose an artistic direction for images.

Blog template is also about the visual things. The presentation or visual assets of the template should be separate from the layout structure. The visual asset  include logos, background gradients, illustrations, and any other images that are part of the template. They leave a visual impression visitors will remember.The visual impact of template must following 3 purposes i.e. attract visitors, enhance the message of the blog and build the brand by using the logo, fonts, and colors of the company.
