Quick summary and approach selection — templates are a useful shortcut, but pick the right type for the job. If you want full control and a minimal starting point (as suggests when she prefers building from scratch), use a starter kit like HTML5 Boilerplate to avoid legacy quirks. If you prefer a CMS as recommended, the official WordPress theme directory is the usual place to start. (html5boilerplate.com)

Curated, reliably coded free templates to try (these are not the links already posted here): HTML5 UP — modern, responsive, CC-licensed; Start Bootstrap — Bootstrap-based starters and themes; BootstrapMade and ThemeWagon — curated free and premium collections. These sources save time and usually include live demos and download packages. (html5up.net)

Quick checklist before you download or use a template: confirm the license and attribution requirements (many freebies use Creative Commons — read the exact terms), ensure the template is responsive and accessible, open the demo in mobile emulation, remove unused assets (fonts, JS, CSS) before deployment, and rename IDs/classes as needed to avoid collisions. For license basics see Creative Commons licensing info. (creativecommons.org)

Minimal responsive HTML skeleton to drop a template into and a few troubleshooting tips:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
  <title>My Site</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
  <!-- paste template HTML here -->
</body>
</html>

If a template looks broken: open DevTools, check the console and Network tab for 404s (missing CSS/JS), verify correct file paths, and disable browser extensions. Customize incrementally so you can roll back if a change breaks layout. This thread has many quick link suggestions — these curated options and checks will save time and reduce future headaches.

I have to say that personally I am against using templates, but hey, that's just my opinion...

However, if you want some free website templates with that extra WOW factor, trying searching for free css templates, as opposed to html or websites.

These two sites are pretty ok in terms of coding quality:

http://www.free-css.com/
http://csscreme.com/freecsstemplates/

Hope these help.

My friend.... before creating a thread... google it. There is so much in google... and it was just pointless in creating a thread.

You might want to investigate using a CMS which has everything you need to work with PHP and databases included.
