TEMPLATE START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
(For Beginners)
When you receive your web template package, extract the entire zip file into a folder you create. It doesn ’t matter where you extract it to or what name you call the folder, just as long as you remember where you extracted all the files to.
As always, we recommend that you use a good zip / unzip utility such as WinZip, PowerArchiver, or Winace. If you prefer otherwise, it’s up to you.
Here are the 8 initial steps to take in order to set up your web template successfully:
1. Open your favorite web editing software in order to view your template. We highly recommend using a WYSIWYG editor such as Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver. If you don’t have either, you could go to www.download.com and search for a free yet powerful web editor that you could use.
2. When the template is open, begin by typing in your text in any top and side bars, copyright notice on the footer of the page, and begin to write the main text of your page. These templates come with pre-inputted text so you get an idea of where to start typing.
3. Now when the text is all complete, begin by inserting your require images into the template by using your favorite graphics program. We highly recommend using Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks or Paint Shop Pro. Again, it’s up to you however, make sure your graphics program is easy to use and creates good quality images. On the actual template, your images would usually fall into the top logo bar or the main text space where your visitors would adhere to them more. And again, it’s up to you but make sure your images are not too large and are in line with the pages layout. Templates Resource offers great rates on template customization, implementation and other services.
4. Don’t forget to save your page into a folder you have allocated. It is recommended to not save it into the templates directory because it’s best to keep your directory of templates clean. Just save it into another folder. For example it could be c:\myweb and so you would save all your newly created pages into this folder.
5. Once your first page is complete, it would be time to create other pages to link up to the main page. I.e. contact, about, products etc. Well the ‘short-cut’ to doing this (and is what most web designers do), is firstly by saving the first page you then erase your text from the first page from the area you’d like to change, and add the new information treating it as a different page however you keep the titles, navigation bars and footer all intact. (It’s advisable to link up all your navigation bars first even if you haven’t created the page for it yet so that when you do duplicate more pages, you don’t have to sit and edit every one).
So once you have created the new page, remember to change the title of the page in the HTML. i.e. change the words between the <title></title> tags. And then finally you save the newly edited page as a new name. Repeat this process with all your pages until you have your entire web page set up.
NOTE: If your website has 10+ web pages to edit, it’s best to use a web editor that has a function that shares specific objects in the page. Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage are highly recognized for their ease of use in this matter. For example: Frontpage also has a ‘page insert’ device that allows you to insert the ‘page insert’ into the space you’d like. For instance, the navigation bar ‘page insert’ from the page with the actual navigation toolbar you created earlier is placed inside. FrontPage will know to open the page in that very spot so even if you had 200 pages with that page insert tag, you only would have to edit just the one ‘original’ page and that would edit all of its inserted tags on every other page. (You can ‘insert’ as much as you want on the same page to make your editing a breeze).
6. Once your web page is added with your text, color, images and other devices, you then should take a final look at the folder you created to make sure ALL the files are in there. Also be sure that you save your images in a sub-directory called ‘images’ so that you keep your website well organized.
7. Then using your web host (Yes you need a web host in order to publish your web site on the net. If you don’t have one there’s hundreds on the net you can choose from or if you just want to quickly test your page out, you can either preview it in your web editor or browser, or use your internet providers free web space they would have given you, to preview how it would look on the live on the internet.
8. Always be sure to back up all of your work. The more places that you back up your files, the better!
9. And that’s about it. Congratulations! You now know how to create your very own website!
