Setting up your website template: For more templates and pre-made sites visit: AllWebCo Design For the best hosting on the planet visit: AllWebCo Step 1: EDIT FLASH ANIMATION: | Click for more details Open the "flash.txt" file and change the text that follows "logo=". This will change the logo on all the pages. Be sure not to delete the "logo=". Change the text following the "&slogan=" to add your company slogan. If you wish to use a graphic 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 plain text editor, and change the "Your Company" text with your company name. This will update the footer on all pages. Edit all ".js" files with a text editor. Step 3: EDIT CONTACT INFO: | Click for more details Open the "contact.js" file with 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" page. This is done this way so search engines can't find your e-mail. You'll receive less spam. Step 4: EDIT THE CONTACT AND QUOTES FORM: Click for current info on setting up the template forms. Click for info on adding more fields to the forms. Click for changing form sizes or colors. If you want to use only e-mail on the contact page you can remove the contact form from the "contact.htm" between the comment tags. Because of the complexity of setting up the quote form, there are notes in the "quotes.htm" to help you cut and paste to add new form fields. The form will work with most contact form scripts however you will need help files or a sample form from the script you intend to use. Most form elements work the same way from script to script, however the hidden values usually vary. You may want to consider editing the entire page in Notepad instead of a wysiwyg editor. Step 5: REPLACE THE CATALOG PICTURES: | Click for more details The best way to setup the pictures in the catalog is not to actually edit the HTML pages and change the pictures on each individual page. The fastest way is to simply replace the pictures in the "catalog" folder with your own by overwriting the files that are in there now and using the same generic .jpg names. In the "catalog" folder, replace the 18 "Fcatalog" pictures with full size photos. Replace the 18 "catalog" pictures with your thumbnails. The thumbnails are now 130 x 87 pixels and full size images are 500 x 333 pixels but you can make them any size that you prefer. There is info on the other pictures at this site later in this document. POP UP WINDOW OPTIONS: | Click for more details This template includes some options for the pop-up windows. To change these options, open your "pop-closeup.js" in Notepad and put a "yes" or "no" (all lowercase) for the options you want to change. You can also change the height and width variables as well as turn on and off the scrollbars. See the notes in the "pop-closeup.js" for details. Step 6: EDIT PAGES: | Software choices | Notepad Editing Change the text on all pages to match your information. You can use a text editor like Notepad, Frontpage, Dreamweaver or any wysiwyg editor. Take care not to delete any of the HTML tags that surround the text. You will find notes inside each page to help you navigate. NOTE: You will not see the footer and header in some software because they are .js include files so you can globaly edit the menus, your e-mail and other info. Step 7: 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. The page title is important so your site will get a good listing at Google, MSN and other search engines. Step 8: 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 folder called picts on your server and put the pictures into that folder. Click for CuteFTP help Options: USING A GRAPHIC LOGO: You can replace the Flash logo with a graphic logo. To do this, delete or rename the "header.js", then rename the "GRAPHIC_LOGO_header.js" to "header.js". In the picts folder you will find a graphic called "logo.jpg". Edit this graphic with your logo. You can make logo image larger and the header will resize to accommodate it. 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" text file. Change the "TABLE" px size to change the copy on all pages. Change the "title" px size to change all the title sizes. CHANGING / ADDING MENU BUTTONS: | Click for more details You can change the names on the buttons like "About" or "Contact" 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 reasonably short so you site remains less than 800 pixels wide. You can even add more pages but copying one button in the menu.js and pasting it right below the next. There are notes in the menu.js to copy and paste. Be sure to back up your file before you edit them. PICTURES: | Click for more details You can replace the pictures with your own.
