This page will hopefully offer some assistance to those who have downloaded one of our template .zip files.

You will need to open the .zip file with unzipping software of some sort. If you don't have unzipping software, try downloading WinZip as it has a free evaluation period. Unzip the file to a place where you'll remember, perhaps into 'My Documents'.

You then need to navigate via your C: >My Documents > Unzipped Folder ( it won't be called that).

Firstly, open the index.html page to see what it looks like. I would suggest copying this file now by saving as 'test.html' or something similar, so that if you make a mess of things, you still have the original there to start all over again with. I would also suggest you do the same thing now, before you start for all the pages you think you may require eg. save as 'about.html', 'links.html', 'contact.html', etc. All of the graphics for the site will be contained within a seperate 'graphics' or 'images' folder with the .zip file.

You simply need to replace my text with your own. All buttons will already have the links set up. Eg. A 'Links' button will have a link to links.html already in place. So you don't need to bother going throught the HTML to change the links.

If you need to add some text to the blank buttons or heading (which are the ONLY buttons/graphics) you're allowed to alter, you will need a image editing program. I would recommend Jasc Paint Shop Pro as you can download a free trial version. Alternatively, we can customise buttons or headings for you.

We are assuming that you have some basic understanding of how web pages work and HTML. The index.html, index.htm or index.php is always the home page for any website (the first page you see when you visit an url). You may benenfit from using a WYSISYG ('what you see is what you get') editor to edit the text on the templates as required. Most Windows and Netscape software come with some form of editing HTML eg Microsoft Word.

To edit any of the inline or iframe templates, you will need to edit in HTML format.

If it all just seems too much or too hard, then why not get us to customise a template for you. Please visit our Reall Graphics or Reall Solutions for more information.
