Instructions

GoLive

If you have questions regarding working in GoLive, please refer to the program help files. Also, keep in mind that what you see in GoLive is not a true representation of what your site will look like on the Internet. Always preview in a browser.

Graphics

Blank header and button images are provided for customization of this template. They can be found in the images folder.

Although the Company.com header graphic appears to be one graphic, it has been sliced to accommodate the layout of the template. A one-piece blank .gif has been provided. Import it into your graphics program. Apply your company or site name in the font of your choice and apply any effects such as drop shadows, etc. Following your graphic program's instructions, slice the image in two on the line where the two colors meet. Save the editable file as well as the new .gif. Place the new .gif into the images folder.

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 color of the graphics can be easily changed. The button file is already in layers.

Tip: if you give the new .gif slices the same names as the slices presently in the template, when they are added to the images folder they will automatically be placed into the template. After the new graphics are in the images folder, rename the files to make more sense for your site.

The fonts used on the company name image were Wide Latin and Univers.

Navigation

The navigation bar consists of individual rollover images. Blank buttons for modification can be found in the images folder. You will need to apply new button names in a graphics program. It is easiest and most efficient if done in layers. You can find a tutorial here. It is written for Photoshop, but the principles apply to most graphics programs.
