Instructions

GoLive

If you have a question regarding working in GoLive, please refer to the program help files. Keep in mind that what you see in GoLive is not a true representation of what will appear on the Internet. Be sure to preview in a browser.

Graphics

Blank button, tab, company name, and icon graphics are included. These are found in the Images folder. Import the needed blank graphics into your graphics program (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Image Composer, etc.). If the program allows, place the button and page title images in layers, making additional layers for the titles. Display each layer of the graphics, one at a time, plus the needed title layer. Save the newly modified images as .gifs or .jpgs, and export into the template. Note that the company name graphic is saved as a .jpg file because of the large gradient area.

OR use the Fireworks editable .png files found in the PNGs folder. If you do not have Fireworks, a free trial copy is available from Macromedia. With the .png files the colors of the images can be easily changed. 

Time Saving Tip: Give the new images the same file names as the originals in the template, letting them override the original graphics in the images folder. This way they will automatically fall into place in the template. After the new graphics are in the images folder, rename the files to make more sense for your site.

The font used on the button images was Tahoma, commonly found on Widows operating systems. The font used on the company name was Park Avenue BT.

We are also available to modify the graphics for a nominal fee. Please contact us for details.

Coordinating bullet graphics are provided.

An optional Swish movie is included on the Home page. Swish 2.01 or higher is needed to modify the movie.

Navigation

The tabs are images linked to pages. If your site is large and you have several pages under a tab category, the easiest way to make multiple pages is to copy the page file (File > Save As) after the appropriate gray tab has been inserted.

The tab area on some pages are components. The tab area on the product pages are not components.

The rollover button navigation was created in GoLive. New buttons with your page titles will need to be made in your graphics program and placed in the template.

All other navigation is text formatted with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
