#REDIRECT [[Web template system]] |
|||
A '''web template''' is a ready-made [[web design]] used to mass-produce "[[cookie cutter]]" [[website]]s for rapid deployment. |
|||
Web templates are sometimes free, and easily made by an individual domestically. However web templates that are specialised are sometimes sold online. |
|||
There are many kinds of '''web templates''': from simple "substitute template" (masks), where the single-place-variables are substituted by a web designer's content, to complex template schemas based on [[XSL Transformations|XSLT]]. |
|||
"Complex templates" plays an important role in [[Content Management System]] (CMS) |
|||
and Web Publishing in general. |
|||
They make possible a standardized layout (page arranging, colors, positions, etc.) |
|||
for different contents while using the same basic layout. |
|||
Usually a "substitute template" will include most of the source files necessary for further customizing the template using most modern [[WYSIWYG]] editors such as [[Macromedia Dreamweaver]], [[BlueFish]], [[Amaya]] or [[Microsoft FrontPage|FrontPage]], or in plain text editors such as [[Notepad]] or [[VIM]]. |
|||
== About use on commercial editors == |
|||
On [[Macromedia Dreamweaver]] the item may also include a graphical template created in Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks MX making it easy to edit or customise graphics and images. |
|||
A [[Microsoft FrontPage|FrontPage]] web template is one used only with [[Microsoft]]'s FrontPage software. One of the more unique features of FrontPage is that it has built in support for automated and easy to use web templates. The main distinction between these templates and other universal html templates is that FrontPage templates include an automatic navigation system that creates animated buttons for pages that have been added by the user, and creates an advanced multi-level navigation system on the fly using the buttons and the structure of the web site. FrontPage templates also commonly include FrontPage themes in place of [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] styles. |
|||
A Flash web template uses [[Macromedia Flash]] to create visually appealing sites. Flash sites make use of visual effects employed by Flash. Flash is also used for many website intros. |
|||
== Open source web templates == |
|||
