Website Templates 2019
Auctria provides tools you can use when creating your website. You can select a template that includes some core functions. The template will automatically set up your website with the elements that you will likely need and then you can customize these elements to suit your specific requirements.
The Add Website page lists the current templates. Choose a template to base the website on.
WARNING
Once you have created a website you cannot change its template although you can add and remove pages afterward to reconfigure the website. The template provides your starting point.
