templates

Can you give an example of a site that you got a template from so we can see what format it is in.

I know some templates have text on the header graphics. Is that the sort of thing you're talking about? Like where this site says "the Webmaster FORUMS" you would have to use a graphics editing program to change that text.

Is that the type of thing you're talking about?

(Sorry for the unintentional bad pun. )

Like the buttons say home and there image files. Then the top part says like Your Website Name Here. I have downloaded off many sites but one was http://www.freewebtemplates.com. So what can I do or were can I good tempaltes.

you need to do that in a graphics editing program

Or use better templates such as those here: ezytemplates.com

I try edit buttons in ps but its one big image, text is like part of the image. I am looking for free templates fyi. Any more sites?

It sounds like what you got is a psd layout that needs to be sliced, and either exported as html or assembled by hand. These kind of templates are nothing but either an image you slice or an image that is already sliced with layers intact, so that you can change things. For any actual text content, you'll need to add that by hand in either a text editor, or an html editor.

alright, anymore free template sites? Whatever format there in.

Google is your friend.

Why not pay $60 at monster templates for a premium template that looks good. Or you can use someone like my company for example to get custom templates designed. Either way its better than using a crappy free template

Call me slow, but I dont see tim's pun.
Can someone explain?

Try templatesbox.com.Th templates ofered there are free but are simnply wonderful. Better than some paid ones.

Hi,

You'll need adobe photoshop for most of the graphic changes.

Maybe you could check designgalaxy.net or designload.net. Stop by, we might be able to give you some "forum" discount.

This response only applies if downloaded the entire file for the site and not just the .html doc. Once you download the template FILE, explore the file and look at the graphics file extensions. Of course some will be .gif .jpg etc... However you are looking for either a .psd file then you can modify the logo / graphic in adobe photoshop. If the extension is .ai then you need to use Abobe illustrator to modify the image, .cdr is corel, etc.. etc...

Tims pun:

Text - type....get it? (Text is called type in Photoshop)

Yeah, the text you can't edit is made in a graphic design program - basically it's a .gif or .jpg and you can't just edit a raster image - even in a graphic design program you won't be able to just 'edit' them unless you have the source file (.psd, .ai, etc.) Most template sites give you those source files though.
