About Dynamic Web Templates. Article ID: KB101134. Dynamic Web Templates (DWTs) are a feature of FrontPage 2003, Expression Web, and SharePoint Designer. Download free HTML, Photoshop(PSD), Dreamweaver and FLASH(FLA) website templates, and you do not need to become a member or link back. We add new free website templates frequently. They have been tweaked and both the css and html have been heavily commented to assist in the learning process. Background Tina Clarke's tutorial encouraged us to pursue a project we have often discussed and felt was needed especially by Expression Web Newbies. Templates The series of twelve templates are divided into four layout groupings: • One column with top navigation, header, and footer • Two column with left sidebar, top navigation, header, and footer • Two column right sidebar, top navigation, header, and footer • Three columns, left and right sidebar, top navigation An additional five templates are available as NEW Within each of the layout groups you will find the following different types: • Fixed to 800px- Page and column widths are set with pixels and do not resize if the browser window or browser text size changes. • Fixed to 1024px- Page and column widths are set with pixels and do not resize if the browser window or browser text size changes. • Liquid - Page and column widths are set with percentages which allows them to resize when the browser window changes with the exception of the three column templates which has the left and right side columns set in pixel widths. Each of the site templates includes a sample search box as well as a contact form. Instructions for modifying both the search box and contact form are listed below plus the instructions are linked from each of these relevant template pages themselves for easy access. We have also included information about the other basic pages and how to work with a Site DWT below. • • • • • • • NB: In 'Page Editor Options' under the 'Authoring' Tab you will find 'default htm file extension', and a radio button selection of either.htm or.html. If you have this setting on.htm when you select and make a Site from one of the.tem downloads (or the generic Expression Web Site Templates) you will see as if by magic the index.html page change to default.html, this is a little known bug. If you have it set to.html then your homepage extension will remain index.html. Of course you can rename your homepage file to whatever your host requires by right clicking on the selected link in Folder List View (Panels - Folder List or Alt + F21) and choosing Rename. When you select either.htm or.html in Page Editor Options this designates the file extension of new pages. An essential part of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is having a site map of your site. Not only a html version but a xml version too. With the html version not only do you need to provide a link to every page on your site but you need to add a short description also. Can generate both versions for you. Before you make the sitemaps version it's a good idea to check in 'Site View' that all your page titles are well written with no mistakes as they are used to generate the anchor text. When the html site map is generated you will need to remove the links from the table they are generated in and make an unordered list from them. If you place the cursor within the table and in the Table menu click Convert - Table to Text this will remove the table quickly. Select the links and paste them into your links page, select the links again and use the bullets icon or the unordered lists section from the Paragraph pane on the Formatting or Common Toolbar which can be turned on from the View Menu to make the list. Then add a short description of what is on the page under or beside each link. Ask other webmasters if they would be happy to link back to your site when you link to theirs. Always link using good anchor text, for example if we wanted you to link to our site we would ask you to link in the following way. Using the following code - copy and paste into notepad or use Paste Text under Edit if you are using Expression Web then paste into Code View. Migrating from FrontPage to Expression Web Helping users understand the methods and solutions available in order to transition their sites either from FrontPage or just bad coding The results will look like the following: Helping users understand the methods and solutions available in order to transition their sites either from FrontPage or just non standard coding When you are producing your link back details be sure to use a title attribute (Screen Tip button on the top right of the of the Hyperlink dialog box) which matches your anchor text precisely. Then include a short description of what the site is about. When you ask other webmasters to link to you, search their site before-hand to find out their name so you can address them directly. Do not send out emails en-block that are not personal to the webmaster, or it will just be deleted. Explain why you think their readers would benefit from visiting your site. The same premise applies to your visitors. If you are asked to provide reciprocal links, do not link unless your visitors will benefit from those links. You should also insist that anyone linking to you use your format of linking. You should ensure that they always use your direct URL and to not include a file name. For instance At some later date you might want to use a different homepage file name, either if you move hosts and they want you to use default.html or you might want to use ASP or PHP and your file name will change. By always using the exact same linking method, your homepage link is not diluted within the search engines. This also applies in the use of www before the domain name. If you are going to use www, always use www, if you are not make sure it is not used elsewhere. You can also set this in or by creating a in your.htaccess file. To engage your visitors in personal way the about page is an essential tool in your bag of tricks. Don't just write a few links, explain about your experience for your subject matter, include any qualifications. Link to your other websites and make sure your contact information is listed in short with a link to the contact page. How you or your company got started or how the website came about written in a chatty way is always a delight to readers. Being bland or worst irritating can make the about page the only page the visitor will look at, encourage them to look through your site by showing your personality and telling them what they want to know - about you. To underline just how good about pages can look and just how badly they can be presented and have some entertaining insights on about pages. NOTE: The filler text within the templates is just that, filler text. You can remove it and insert your own content of whatever you wish. For Use Turn off User Account Control If you do NOT turn off User Account Control, you are going to have to click to give permission for each of the templates you want to copy/move. You can turn off user Account Control while you copy the files then turn it back on. It does require a restart of the computer each time. (You do not have to do this it just saves time if you do) Download and Unzip the Template Package WARNING: Do not download the zipped tem files to the same folder you will be unzipping to or the templates will not work. Download the files to your desktop and then unzip them to the proper folder. Download any or all of the four template packages which are in zipped format. Each of the packages contains three separate folders with the files associated for that site template. Unzip the templates to one of two places.
