FAQ

Short answers to the questions that arrive most often. All answers are shown in full — nothing here is hidden behind a click.

Does the template builder still work?

No. The online editor was retired and every customise and download button that depended on it has been removed rather than left to fail. The story is on the builder page. The template pages themselves are kept in the catalogue for reference.

Can I still download the templates?

The packaged downloads were produced by the editor, so they went with it. What remains is the design of each template and the pages describing it. If you are looking for something to build on today, the honest answer is that a current starter — a lightweight WordPress theme or a hand-written HTML starting point — will serve you better than a template from an older generation of the web. We wrote about how to choose one in Templates.

What may I do with a doTemplate template?

Use it for a personal or a commercial site, change it as much as you like, and keep the result. What you may not do is resell or redistribute the template file itself as a template. The full text is on the licence page.

Who writes the articles?

The doTemplate editorial team. Articles carry a section label and are written to explain a method rather than to rank products. Sponsored material is separate, labelled, and listed in the archive.

Why are there old casino articles on this domain?

They are sponsored placements from the period when the site sold them. We could delete them, but the pages are indexed and part of the record of the domain, so they stay where they are with a label saying what they are. They are excluded from the editorial sections and from the front page.

Do you accept guest posts?

Sponsored placements, yes, on the terms described in contact: labelled, at their own address, and never inserted into an existing guide.
