White/blank page is best start for me and adding few images and dummy text to play with it.
Always from scratch because if we start using templates then who hire us
if my Boss come to know i ' m using templates he will think why not simple buy ready made template and Developer do integration work and small customization.
If you need the truth you have to build your website from scratch . becouse there is a client needs many things like he need menu in the left not in the top. he needs news, ads , many of things can change

Always Started With A Blank Page & made A complete design ........ Using Templates Kills creativity Of Designers
