Codester vs Colorlib Templates
Both stand on website template marketplaces. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Choose Codester if you want to browse a broad marketplace of development assets or sell your own work. Its weekly free downloads and varied license options may help, but buyers should account for paid purchases and support exclusions such as installation and environment setup.

Choose Colorlib Templates if you want a broad collection of static website designs and the freedom to use free templates in commercial work without attribution. Look elsewhere if you need WordPress themes in this collection, or need technical support while using free HTML templates.
