What is a Web Template you ask?
A web template is simply a folder
containing web pages, and web folders. The web pages are
designed with graphics; include navigation bars, content
layouts for text and images, and background images to add a
specific ‘theme’ to the web pages. The pages may vary a bit
in design to accommodate a range of uses. The index page or
landing page is primarily set up to act as an introduction
to your new visitors. So we’ve added a branding area to this
page, which uses flash animation, text, and images to
portray a message about your web site.
There are a variety of pages in your website, and there are
template pages specifically designed to create NEW pages for
your web site. You are not limited to the pages we’ve
include in the template they are only a starting point.
You can do many things with the web pages, using your
favorite HTML editor such as Microsoft FrontPage 2003, or
Expression Web Designer. You can simply replace the text on
the page, or add new text. Change the menu buttons, images.
Your template is a starting point for your web site. It is
only intended to be a starting point as there are so many
things you can do with a web site, most of which you’ll
learn as your web site grows and you find new ideas for your
site. There is no physical way we could include every cool
feature found on the web, so we’ve included enough to get
you started.
I’ve designed your template to work for a basic user. Open
the site in your editor, add and remove pages, add content,
menu buttons and even change the images with a bit of work.
Much of the template is designed in a graphic program such
as Macromedia Fireworks, or Adobe Photoshop. Modifying the
template or customizing the template is possible. We even
provide the source files if you wish to do this.
I will ask that only folks with previous Flash
/Photoshop/Fireworks experience attempt to edit the source
files. Editing the template pages, basic knowledge level
required and I teach you how to do this with our video
instruction series. Advanced modifications such as changing
the color, this is best left to experienced folk. I don’t
want to scare anyone away, but I don’t want you purchasing a
template thinking that you can change the graphic design of
the template using your HTML editor. It isn’t that simple.
If you have the skill sets to edit the Flash FLA file, or
Fireworks PNG file, you’ll know. If these terms are
unfamiliar to you, you CAN learn how to do it, but I only
recommend this to folks who are serious about learning how
to work with a Graphic Editor, and animation Software. It
takes a lot of time to learn how to work with Flash or
Fireworks / Photoshop. If you are planning on doing this as
a profession, then I STRONGLY recommend that you do learn.
You’ll be able to take a $79 template, modify it for your
client, and potentially earn thousands for doing so.
