Templates
Definition: Dreamweaver templates vs. templates
We are using the word "template" for two different types of pages:
- pages made by saving a copy of another page and modifying it
- pages made using the "template" feature of Dreamweaver
All of our "guides" use the Dreamweaver template feature:
subjects
courses
cheatsheets
types
All other templates are simply pages that are available to copy as the basis for making new pages.
Which template to use
pages belonging to one library |
individual library page templates ("colorbar") sample |
guides: subjects, courses, cheatsheets, types |
*these are the only templates we have that use the Dreamweaver "template" feature. |
top-level
pages in each of our 5 main categories: |
|
3rd-level pages that don't belong to one library, pages consisting of long prose text, pages that don't fit in the other templates |
the simple template ("blue-stripe") |
photo tours, collections of images |
|
None of these templates are appropriate for your needs? Contact the Nicole Hennig about developing a new template for your needs. We like to share these within the libraries. |
