Unzipping Template Package

Our templates are delivered in ZIP files. A ZIP file is a single compressed file that contains the complete set of program files. Compressed files are valuable in the electronic world because they cut your download time drastically, and they make it possible to download just one file rather than the full set of files (which can often be dozens of individual files).

To decompress (unZIP) a ZIP file, you need a copy of an unZIPing utility. We recommend WinZip. It is a shareware program, which needs to be registered (paid for) if you plan to continue using it. It is also distributed in a ZIP format, but it is a "Self-extracting" variety – simply download it to you temporary directory, and "RUN" it to extract the program files.

Installing Fonts

You should install fonts included in web design template package before proceeding work with PSD and FLA source files.

If you’re Microsoft Windows user you should copy and paste all fonts from template package to the Windows\Fonts folder or WinNT\Fonts if you are on NT based system.

Creating Subpages

Our Full Site and Full Package products already include all necessary pages for your website. But you can create more pages or create the unlimited amount of pages from single page of your web design template.

It’s recommended to customize one page before duplicating your pages. So you’ll don’t have to customize all that pages later.

Now let’s create some subpages. Go to HTML folder of your web design template using file browser. For example you have two html files there: index.html and index_sub.html. Copy index_sub.html file into the same folder and give new name for it. For example name it products.html.
 

You can create any amount of pages using those instructions. After that go to Working with template using HTML editor section to get information about adding content to the pages of your web design template.

Uploading Files to Your Web Hosting

In this step you will be given instructions for uploading your pages to a web server. After this you will be able to review your site online in browser. We leave it up to you what sort of hosting company and domain name to choose because it depends on specifics of your business. In following instructions it is supposed that you have a login/password combination available from your hosting provider.

Open a browser and type ftp://domain_name in address line. Where domain_name is domain name of your future website.

In Internet Explorer, choose File>Enter as... to display authentication dialog. Enter your login and password and click OK. Now you are logged to FTP server of your web hosting.

Copy your web pages and folders to your site root directory as you would to any other folder on your computer. All html files should be placed in root folder of your web hosting. All images should be located in /images folder, SWF movie files in /Flash folder. In another words you should keep folder structure that was given to you in HTML folder of your web design template.

Now you can view your great website online.
