so there is an extension which enables the usage of ready made templates 
to have a design for a website, it is fairly new and I know no designs yet.

anyway you can use premade HTML and insert/replace parts with content of 
TYPO3. for this you can use different approaches.
In your search you will find 'templa voila' but the support has stopped 
as newer ways to template pages are available.
the old way of TYPO3 was templating by markers/subparts which needs 
special tags (###TAGNAME###) which get replaced but that is very 
hardcoded and you may need a lot of logic in PHP. As there is the new 
way of fluid-templates the marker templates get extinct, so you may find 
them as the only way to style output of an extension plugin.

Fluid-templates are flexible as the enable some logic in the template 
andmore and more templating is done with fluid.

in this way you can use a ready made design as a HTML file, which 
includes some variables you fill from TYPO3. as far as your TYPO3 
content matches the needed HTML markup it will blend in the design.

here you need to configure the output of TYPO3 to your needs as the 
default HTML-markup of TYPO3 is propably not your design.
This covers the basic content elements and also the plugins you may use.

you may find TYPO3 designs as an extension which (re)configure the TYPO3 
output (and some mayor extensions) to fit into that design, but such 
designs are problably not exchangable on mouseclick.
