Designed for the Gen7 Series Templates and Modules

Template pages over view:

To help provide your website a unique look and feel, as well as providing additional tools for you to work with, we've include 3 types of 'template' pages. You can easily duplicate these template pages in order to create new pages for your website.

Not all pages in your website will be equal in function or the amount of content. So we've provided specific layouts so which you may choose to use in building your website, or not. The three types of template pages we've included are:

• index page (used only once in the site, for the index.htm page)
• compact page (fixed with page designed to fit into an 800x600 monitor
• fullscreen page (designed to fit to the width of your visitors monitor)

In the screen capture below, you'll see where the template pages are stored in the website:

The index page is specifically designed to be the first page in your website, the index.htm page. This is where the majority of your visitors will first arrive at your website, so we've included a branding area (which also includes flash, images, taglines or a place to advertise your brand message or product line).

The compact page is specifically designed to be a fixed width page, so no matter how much content you put into this page, it will always be the same width, no matter what resolution your visitors have their monitors set to. This type of page is the most consistent in terms of layout.

Recommended for: website or web pages with little content, or pages that require a consistent look in all monitors.

The fullscreen page is designed to flex or grow with the size of the monitor. The fullscreen page will expand to the full width of the monitor allowing more information to be viewable on the screen for visitors with higher monitor resolutions.

Recommended for: website or web pages with large amounts of content, or pages that require as much visual real estate as possible.

You'll find the 'template' pages in the 'Templates' folder of your website.
