General Software Discussion / Re: Website design recommendations for a small business site?
« on: April 22, 2009, 09:21 PM »Thanks for that, wraith. Can I ask a favor, please? When I look at templates like these:
(1) http://www.4template...emplates/20/AX0398BL
(2) http://www.4template...templates/2/AX0237GR
I cannot easily tell whether the section links (the column of blue menu buttons in the middle in (1); the row of black buttons under the main banner in (2)) are made of images or text. Do you know, or can you tell by looking at the screenshots, or by comparing with the templates you have used yourself? The screenshots they show are too small to tell the difference, and whoever is running the site isn't responding to questions asked via their contact form.
Also, the templates you bought from them - are they fixed width or fluid? Thanks a lot in advance!-tranglos (April 22, 2009, 06:50 PM)
They are usually images- they are given as blank images, and you are given the fonts to put what you want on them yourself. I usually convert them to photoshop format, then create a new layer for the text and any effects. Then I save the psd files for later use and flatten them for the actual web images.
Look at this template for an example: http://www.4template...emplates/20/VA0113BL
And my website: http://www.ankhana.net
This template came with the psds of the completed site look, html for the index and the inside pages, and the images sliced into 21 files with no text or anything.
As far as the second part of your question, it depends on the template. The best way to see is to go to the search form, then search for the item number and click dynamic width. If it comes back with nothing, then it's not dynamic, i.e. AX0398BL appears to be fixed width and height. Template monster is better about responding to your queries, but of course the templates there cost more.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
