Setting up your website template: Template Image Type: E80 Step 1: EDIT FLASH ANIMATION: | Click for more details Open the "flash.txt" file with Notepad or any plain text editor and edit "Your Website Title" with your name or company name. Be sure not to delete the "logo=". Edit the "&slogan= Your company slogan or phrase goes here..." with your slogan or leave this line blank. Be sure not to delete the "&slogan=". This will update the Flash logo on all pages. 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 text editor, and edit the "Your Company" text with your name or site name. This will update the footer info on all pages. Edit all ".js" files with a text editor. 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 and fax number and e-mail address. This will change contact info on the contact page. Step 4: EDIT THE CONTACT FORM: | Click for more details Click for current info on setting up the template forms.

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. Step 5: EDIT THE INTRO MESSAGE: | Click for more details The default WinMedia message is called "welcome.wmv" and the Quicktime file is called "welcome.mov". These can be found in the "message" folder. You can replace these with your own files to update the message pages. Edit the "welcome-quicktime.htm" and "welcome-winmedia.htm" HTML pages in the "message" folder to edit the message popup text. To change the message file type or popup size see "options" below. Click above to view the message setup and support page. Step 6: REPLACE THE GALLERY PICTURES: | Click for more details The best way to setup the pictures on the gallery pages is not to actually edit the HTML pages and change the pictures on each individual page. The fastest way is to simply replace the .jpg pictures in the "gallery" folder with your own by overwriting the files that are there now and using the same generic names. In the "gallery" folder, replace the "Fgallery" pictures with full size photos. Replace the "gallery" pictures with your thumbnails. The thumbnails are now 100 x 67 pixels. The full sized images are 500 x 500 pixels. You can make them any size that you prefer, however, it is recommended that you make the "Fgallery" images no more than 500 pixels wide for proper display on low resolution computers. GALLERY PAGE OPTIONS: | Click for more details The "pop-closeup.js" file is the script that allows images to change on the gallery pages. You can edit this file in Notepad. There are some options near the top of this file that you can change. Step 7: PHONE NUMBER UNDER THE MENU: | Click for more details The phone number under the menu on the left of each page can be edited or switched of in the "menu.js" near the top of this file. Edit the font size and color in the "corporatestyle.css". Step 8: payments.htm PAYPAL PAYMENT PAGE: This template includes a Paypal payment page called "payments.htm". Edit the "paypal@your-web-domain.com" in this page with your Paypal e-mail and you can use this page to accept custom payments by sending clients a link to this page and having them fill in the amount on the payment page. You can edit the select options in this page as well. To remove the Paypal select options delete between the OPTIONS notes in the "payments.htm". Step 9: EDIT PAGES: | Software choices | Notepad Editing Edit the text on all HTML pages with 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 globally edit your e-mail and other info. Step 10: EDIT TITLES, DESCRIPTIONS AND KEYWORDS: | Click for more details Open each of the pages and change the titles (at the very top of the page) and also the description and the keywords with your product or service info. 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. Page titles are important so your site will get a good listing at Google or MSN and other search engines. Click for optimization help. Step 11: UPLOAD: | Click for more details Upload the pages on to your hosting company's server using ftp software or Windows Explorer or your control panel. Be sure to upload the "picts", "gallery" and "message" folders and all files in these folders. Options: USING A GRAPHIC LOGO: To replace the Flash logo with a graphic logo: Delete or rename the "header.js". Rename the "graphic_logo_header.js" to "header.js". Edit the "logo.jpg" in the picts folder with your logo graphic. You can make the logo.jpg any size you would like, however, if you change the height you may need to move the menu up or down by editing the corporatestyle.css. FONTS: | Click for more details You can change your font colors and sizes by editing the "corporatestyle.css" with a text editor. You can find other font colors by clicking here. You can also change the font sizes in the "corporatestyle.css" file. Change the "TABLE" px size to change the copy on all pages. Change the "title" px size to change all the title sizes. EDITING & ADDING TO THE MENUS: | Click for more details You can change the names on the buttons like "about us" or "service" to other page names by editing the "menu.js" in Notepad. 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 add more pages by copying one button in the menu.js and pasting it right below the next. Be sure to back up your fileS before you edit them. See the notes in the menu .js files to add links. The menu used in the gallery pages is named "menu_gallery.js". You can change and remove links in this menu file as well. OPTIONS IN THE MENU: | Click for more details There are some options near the top of the menu.js for the date and phone number under the menu. You can change any of these options. INTRO MESSAGE OPTIONS: | Click for more details You can change the message popup sizes or turn on the scrollbar by editing the pop-closeup.js. To resize the message video/audio area edit the "player-quicktime.js" and "player-winmedia.js" files in the "message" folder. To change the file to use for the welcome message popups edit the "player-quicktime.js" and "player-winmedia.js" in the "message folder". For Windows Media it's best to use a .wmv or .wma file for video or mp3 for audio. For the Quicktime player it's best to use a .mov file for video and a .mp3 for audio. PICTURES: | Click for more details You can replace the pictures with your own. The pictures are now 750 x 80 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" folder. 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. There are notes in the "menu.js" to help you add a button. ADDING GALLERY PAGES: | Click for more details Click the link above for adding new gallery pages. Edit your "menu_gallery.js" to add links for new pages to the gallery menu. PAGE HEIGHTS: So all your pages will maintain a standard height a "pageheight.js" file was included. Edit this file in Notepad and you can change the height="550" to any height you need. SITE MAP PAGE: The "site_map.htm" is linked from the index.html.
