If you are experienced in HTML but need assistance with the creation of your design then a Custom Template is perfect for your situation.
What Is A Custom Template?
A Custom Template is a one or two page design built to your color preferences and style that is created in Photoshop and converted to an HTML layout with areas of the pages prepped for your content. Once delivered, you would open in your HTML editor and add in your content including images. Then simply upload or publish your files to your hosting account.
What Do Custom Templates Include?
Our Custom Templates can be simple or complex depending upon the request of the client. A list of features is shown below as an example:
- Flash elements (ex: logos or banners)
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for easier layout changes
- rollover menus (menus with mouseover effects)
- multiple menus (ex: certain sections of the site could have sub-menus)
- can be multiple pages (ex: home page could have different layout than supporting pages)
- come with all source files ( Photoshop PSD files, Flash .fla files, etc.)
The user would open the 'blank' page, add their content, and 'Save As' the page name that they need in order to add additional content and pages to their site. The only other step is to be sure to place a link in the menu(s) or on a related page that points to the new page.
How Are Custom Templates Delivered?
All templates are delivered in a Zip format which includes all the source files and the actual working templates in HTML format.
How Much Do Custom Templates Cost?
Good question. It totally depends upon each request. However, a single page custom design begins at just $300. Adding multiple features like Flash / Swish, special menus, multiple menus, extensive CSS or PHP programming and other more complex increases the cost accordingly.
What Software Do I Need To Modify My Custom Template?
The complexity of the template determines the answer to this question. However, at the very least you would need Photoshop 7.0 or higher and an HTML editor such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver. In the event that a FrontPage specific template is ordered then you should have FrontPage 2003 or newer in order to ensure compatibility.
