 Are Allwebco templates compatible with MS Expression Web?Allwebco templates can be edited with Expression Web. You can import a template into the editor and publish as an Expression Web. While editing, in the "Design" view, you will not see your Flash animation or the header or footer. However, all of the files, except Flash, can be edited in Expression Web.  Are the templates editable in Dreamweaver?Yes the templates are editable in Dreamweaver. You will not see your header and footer when you're editing because the header and footer are global ".js files" that you edit separately in Notepad, so you can change all your pages at once. You will see the main body of text and the pictures while editing. View more details on Dreamweaver editing.  Are the templates editable in Contribute & GoLive?Yes the templates are editable in Adobe Contribute or GoLive. You will not see your header and footer when you're editing because the header and footer are global ".js files" that you edit separately in Notepad, so you can change all your pages at once. You will see the main body of text and the pictures while editing. View the template getting started support page.  Are Allwebco templates compatible with Frontpage?All the templates can be edited with Frontpage, Dreamweaver, most any other wysiwyg editor, or you can even create your entire website using Notepad. However, because of the built in flexibility, Flash animation and global editing features, you will not see your header or footer in Frontpage. Allwebco templates were not originally created in Frontpage and are not set up as Frontpage "Webs". View a screenshot while editing in Frontpage.  Do I need any special software to set up my web site?Although you can use any wysiwyg editor, Allwebco templates are so basic that you can customize your entire site using Notepad or any plain text editor. The only additional software you may need to setup an Allwebco template is FTP software to upload your pages (Windows Explorer includes FTP capabilities). Click for more info on editors including available Free editors, or... Click for FTP uploading details. What makes Allwebco templates better? Unlike most of our competitors web templates, Allwebco templates are complete websites with multiple pages already setup for you, not just one or two pages that you must duplicate. This saves you considerable time during setup. All our templates also feature global editing features. You can rename any page on the menu by editing a single file and all the pages will be updated. Contact forms are included, and most template models feature picture galleries and a Flash logo and Flash animation you edit in a plain text editor or standard .jpg images. Any template can be setup using ONLY a text editor or any available free HTML editor. Can I replace the template images with my own images? All images used in an Allwebco template are standard .jpg and .gif pictures. These pictures can be replaced with your own pictures by overwriting the files in the "picts" directory after your download. All the code and graphics used to create the template are sent along with the download. Click for more image editing details.   
Do I need Adobe Flash software to edit the animation or replace images? Flash software is not required to update any area on the templates. With Allwebco templates, the template logo and all text displayed in the Flash animation is controlled by one file named "flash.txt". This file can be easily edited with any text editor to add your company name, slogan and phrases. Any animation included with a template will include "linked" standard .jpg images that you can easily replace with your own standard .jpg images. Can I use my own logo? All Allwebco templates feature a graphic logo option. You simply rename one file and then add your graphic logo and replace the pre-defined logo image. Instructions are included. What are "global editing" features? Allwebco global editing features use what are known as "javascript includes". The menus, contact info, and header and footer and sidebar in some models are all separate javascript files or IFrame files that you edit with a plain text editor. There are two reasons for this: If you want to change a menu or sidebar item, you won't have to edit every page on your website. You can edit the javascript or IFrame text file and every page is updated with the new info. The other reason to use javascript include files is that your e-mail is not actually on any of your webpages. This helps keep search engines from seeing it and you'll get less spam. (IFrames are integrated HTML pages. These types of frames are not considered "framed" websites.) I don't have a lot of time to invest in a learning curve, do your templates take you through a step-by-step setup? We do have many novice users that setup our templates, however, when setting up an Allwebco template you will need to learn some HTML editing. Every template includes step-by-step instructions and we also offer a searchable template support center. The ".js" files you use. Would that be javascript? Is that editable in something like Dreamweaver or Frontpage? You edit a ".js" file in a plain text editor. They are javascript includes. We use them in our templates so you can globally edit the names on the menus, the headers, footers and contact info at one time. Another advantage is that your e-mail is not actually on your webpage so search engines can't find it and you'll receive less spam. Can I add pages to my site by myself? Our templates are flexible enough that you can add as many pages as you want by making copies of any existing template page. Links to new pages can be added to the template menus or on any of the template pages including the site map page. Click for support for adding and removing pages and also see editing the menus.  
I have very little knowledge of the tools (e.g. Notepad) required to edit your templates. What kind of struggle am I going to have, time wise, modifying with my copy? Most people have indicated that our templates are very easy to use. For a professional, it's usually between 4 and 6 hours. This includes creating some custom graphics. I've see one user setup their entire site in less than 2 hours and I've seen others take weeks. The more computer skills you have the easier it is to setup an Allwebco template. If you know exactly what you want to add and will use the template pretty much "as is" then usually the only obstacle is setting up the contact form and uploading. There are instructions on the help page and info in our template support area to guide you in these areas. Browse Templates |
