Template Details
Include Pages:
Editing the include pages will update the other pages across
your website. Open them, make your changes, and save. All of
the include files are located in the includes folder.
The include pages may not look like they have any
formatting. This is fine. Simply make your changes, then preview the
other website pages in a browser.
- Logo = logo.html
- Main Navigation = menu.html
- Bottom Links and Copyright = footer.html
Top logo area:
There are three options for adding your business name and logo, which are explained
below.
-
If you already have a logo you want to use, delete the current logo and insert
your own. Make sure that your logo is no larger than 297 pixels in width and
124 pixels in height.
-
If you don't have a logo and want to use the one that is provided you will
need a graphics program, such as Photoshop, Fireworks, or Paint Shop Pro. The
Fireworks (PNG) source file and the fonts are included with
the template.
- If you send us your order number along with your
business name we will create the logo for you. We will then
email your new logo to you, which will be in the same font
style as the example logo. Please email this information to
support@djmweb.net.
FrontPage form:
If you want to use FrontPage forms, your website will need
to be published on a server that has FrontPage extensions. Check
with your hosting provider to make sure that you can use
FrontPage forms on your site. If not, you can delete the
FrontPage form and create your own scripting for a form.
We have provided form on the Contact Us
page. You may see [FrontPage Save Results Component],
which is the message that appears on a published website when a
form is present but is not configured for the server the web has
been published to. To configure the form for your own web,
right-click inside the form area and select "Form Properties"
from the pop-up window. You will most likely want the
information to go to your e-mail address, so delete the contents
of the "file name" box and enter in your e-mail address. You may
need to check with your hosting service to ensure that your
account is configured to allow FrontPage form e-mail responses.
Change the image in the
Flash movie:
Note: You will not see the Flash movie while editing the
template.
- Make the image you want to
use 461 pixels wide and 124 pixels in height. Make sure the
image is this exact size.
- Name your image as
main_image.jpg and add it to the images folder. This will
overwrite the old image.
Vertical main menu:The vertical menu
is a bulleted list of links in the menu.html page. Simply add
your own links to the bulleted list and the style sheet will
format it on your actual web page!
Source files included:
- Fireworks (PNG) file for the layout
- Fireworks (PNG) file for the ecommerce buttons and icons
- Flash (.fla) file
- Font file used in the logo
Note: All source files are licensed to use with this template
only.
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS):
All table and cells within this
template are controlled and formatted with an external CSS file called
style.css. Fore more information about CSS go to
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/
Meta tags:To help your site be optimized for
search engines and directories we have added blank meta tags to
each page. You will need to add your own content in these tags
or delete tags from the page.
Flash detection script:
Note: You will not see the Flash movie while
editing the template. This template uses the SWFObject (v1.4) Flash detection and
embed script provided by Geoff
Stearns at
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/. This script detects
whether or not the user has the Flash player, and if it does, it
loads in the Flash movie for them to view. If they don't have the
Flash player, it displays your alternate content. The alternate
content is what you see in your web editor (a static image or text).
The SWFObject script also resolves the IE update issue where
embedded Flash movies require an extra click for interaction; using
the script will allow viewers to interact with the Flash movie
directly. The SWFObject script also allows your website to have
fully validated HTML.
Please be aware that the script may be updated occasionally, and
it is your responsibility to visit the SWFObject site to check for
updates and implement them.
