A website template gives you a starting point. What you build around it makes it useful.
Before calling a website ready, we’d ask:
• Can visitors quickly understand the offer? • Does the mobile layout prioritize what they need most? • Can the owner update content without breaking the design? • Is the next step clear—browse, book, buy or get in touch?
These questions matter whether you’re working with Wix Studio, WordPress or a custom build.
For us at AliThemes, a useful template should leave room for real content and real business needs—not just look good in a demo.
Designers: what’s the one thing you always check before handing a website over to a client?

Exactly, Naim—the editing experience is part of the finished product. A useful handoff test is asking the owner to update a product title, image and description themselves, then checking mobile. What helped most on your product pages: reusable sections or clearer editing guidance?
