Web Design FAQ

What is a Template?
A template is a single complete webpage incuding all the images, scripts, and parts to make a homepage for a website. Simply upload all the template files and folders to a webserver and you have an instant webpage. A template can be edited to add your own content and images. Then the template can be copied and renamed to make up additional pages for your site.

How do I edit a template?
Our templates are basic HTML templates that can be changed using any html or text editor. Anyone that knows basic html can easily insert there own text and images into the code, save the changes, and upload to a website.

What am I allowed to do with my template?
We offer a limited use license for each template. The webdesigners are kind enough to do this in order to offer a lower price for their design work. In a nutshell you are allowed to use the template for your personal website and not sell or give away the code to anyone else. You can change anything on want on the template EXCEPT DO NOT REMOVE THE COPYRIGHT!!. Click here to see the full user agreement You can purchase full rights with the "Make it Mine" option.

What is the "Make it Mine" Option?
"Make it Mine" offers you the option to buy the full license and rights to a template. You will be able to do what ever you want with this template, remove the copyright, resell it, or whatever. In addition you get the full unflattened source files. Also we will remove the template for sale permanently so no one else will be able to buy it ever again.

What is SSI (Server Side Includes)?
SSI is used in our templates to make it easier for you to edit your site later on. Basically the menus, banner, and sometimes footer are separate files. If you want to add a link to your menu then you edit your the file named "leftmenu.html" then all your pages on your site where that menu is used will be automatically changed. This avoids the tedious editing of dozens of website pages to make a simple text change. Your webhost will need to support SSI. We also include a non SSI version of your template as well.

How do I change the banner?
Our templates include a flattened banner photoshop file with an active text layer and font file. You can open this file in Photoshop or GIMP (free image editor) and change the text in the banner. Drop the font file into your windows/font folder. We can change any banner for you as well for $20

Whats the difference between PHPnuke Themes and Templates?
PHPnuke is the most popular website news portal on the web. Nuke offers an admin panel where you can post news, edit members, send out newsletters, and install an endless array of addons, modules, and themes. We offer premade or custom Themes (skins) to change the appearance of PHPnuke. A regular html Template cannot be used with PHPnuke unless it is converted into a php theme. However we can convert any website template or existing website into a phpnuke theme for $60 including a forum skin.

What is a Custom Template or Theme?
We can make a Template or Theme just for you the way you want it! We ask you to fill out a detailed questionnaire on how you want you website to look and act. We then show you some concept art for your comments and changes. Once the concept design is approved we turn it into either an HTML Template or PHPnuke Theme and can install it for you. Check the custom design pages of our site to see what custom design pages are offered.
