Setting up your website template: Step 1: EDIT FLASH ANIMATION: | Click for more details Open the "flash.txt" file and change "Your" to match the first part of your logo. Be sure not to delete the "logo1=". Then change the "&logo2=Website Title" to match the second part of your logo. If you don't have two parts to your title, simply leave the area after "logo=" blank. Then change the "An optional slogan or phrase can go here..." to whatever phrase you would like to use. Be sure not to delete the "&slogan=". This will change the Flash logo on all pages. Use spaces to line up the words how you would like them. If you wish to use a graphic or text logo, there are instructions later in this document. Step 2: EDIT COPYRIGHT: | Click for more details Open the "copyright.js" file in Notepad or any text editor and change the "Your Name or Company" and "info@yourdomain.com" lines to match your information. This will change the lower page info on all pages. Step 3: EDIT CONTACT INFO: | Click for more details Open the "phone.js" file in Notepad or any text editor and change the company name, address, phone number and e-mail address. This will change contact info on the "contact", "career" and "company / about us" pages. Step 4: EDIT THE CONTACT FORM: | Click for more details If you are setup with an AllWebCo hosting account. Go to your control panel at "http://your-domain.com/cgi-bin/plusmail" and install the free script "Formail" then edit the contact page and replace "your-domain.com" in 3 spots with your domain. Using Notepad or any text editor is the fastest way to do this. If you are not set up with AllWebCo hosting or do not have "Formail" installed. You can either setup the contact form to use another contact script, install "Formail" on your server or you can remove the contact form from the pages between the comment tags. If you wish to change the sizes of the form elements you can open the "coolstyle.css" in Notepad or any text editor and change the ".shadeform" ".textarea" and ".dropdown" width numbers. Step 5: EDIT PAGES: | Software choices | Notepad Editing Change the text on all pages to match your information. You can use a text editor like notepad. Take care not to delete any of the HTML tags that surround the text. Step 6: EDIT PAGE TITLES, DESCRIPTIONS AND KEYWORDS: | Click for more details Open each of the pages and change the page titles (at the very top of the page) and also the description and the keywords to match your product or service. You can edit one page and copy and paste to the other pages. Be careful to only change what's inside the "" so you don't disturb the html code. Keywords are very important so your site will get a good listing at google or msn and other search engines. Step 7: UPLOAD: | Click for more details Upload the pages on to your hosting company's server using ftp software like CuteFTP or Coffee Cup (free) or your control panel. Be sure to make a directory called picts on your server and put the pictures into that directory. Options: USING A GRAPHIC LOGO: You can replace the text logo with a graphic one. To do this, delete or rename the header.js, then rename the "graphic_logo_header.js" to "header.js". In the picts directory you will find a graphic called "logo.gif", open this graphic and edit it with your logo. The size should remain a maximum of 60 x 400 unless you edit the numbers in the new "header.js". It is recommended that you do not exceed 70 pixels in height unless you move the menu. MOVING THE MENU: To move the menu on the page open the coolstyle.css in Notepad and edit this line. "#menu { LEFT: 0px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 75px }". FONTS: | Click for more details You can change your font colors and sizes by editing the "coolstyle.css" with a text editor. You can find other font colors by clicking here. You can also change the font sizes in the "coolstyle.css" file. Change the "TABLE" px size to change the copy on all pages. Change the "subtitle" px size to change all the subtitle sizes. CHANGING / ADDING BUTTONS: | Click for more details You can change the names on the buttons like "News" or "Services" to other page names by editing the "menu.js". Only change the one instance of the name and not the name with the ".htm" after it. Whatever you change in the menu.js will change every page on the website. Keep the names short so they don't go outside the menu. You can even add more pages but copying one button in the menu.js and pasting it right below the next. Be sure to back up your file before you edit it. PICTURES: | Click for more details You can replace the pictures with your own. The pictures are now 200 x 250 pixels but you can use any size picture you want and the pages will size them to fit automatically. Each page has it's own picture which is named according to the page it's on. You will find all pictures in the "picts" directory. ADDING PAGES: | Click for more details You can add pages to your website by copying and pasting any one of the pages and renaming it to whatever you need. You can then add links from the other pages or even add the page to the menu by opening the menu.js and copying and pasting one of the buttons below another. It's best to copy the two lines of the "contact" button and paste it between the other buttons. Be sure to back up your files before you edit them.
