The DWT technology eliminates the need for pre-made
HTML pages, as the Dynamic Web Templates simply "attach" to
your own HTML pages, giving them all the design attributes. For
this reason, it is unnecessary for us to bog you down with countless
content pages you have to rewrite or delete, so we are skipping that
step! The DWT package contains: a DWT for each design
layout provided (see "Features" of each design), all
graphical files needed to use the design, all flash files (if any)
needed for the design, and a thorough ReadMe.html file with complete
instructions. |
|
|
|
|
|
No problem. We've made a complete
content DWT Web Package for you to start with, and it is available
FREE of charge. (It's also an excellent way for you to play
around with DWTs prior to making a purchase decision!) You
simply follow the instructions on the Introduction Page of the linked
template in this section to install your web package - THEN, you may
attach any DWTIG Compliant DWT to replace the design in use. |
|
|
|
|
|
Our Dynamic Web Templates (DWTs) are packaged in an
.exe file, which will unzip the DWT files to a new directory on your
drive: c:\Program Files\ TWC Graphics Design\<DWT Folder
Name>. You will simply download the .exe after licensing a
DWT to any location on your hard drive; double-click to begin the
unzip, and accept the defaults. |
|
|
|
|
|
You don't. You "ATTACH" the Dynamic
Web Template to an existing web, or you start with a new one-page web
and attach it to the new web pages. To place the files in the
appropriate location to attach the DWTs, open the web you wish to
attach in FrontPage 2003. Open the Folder List (View, Folder List) if
it is not already open and ensure that the top level directory is
selected (left click over it to highlight it). From the FrontPage
menu, select File, Import - then click "Add Folder."
Navigate on your hard drive to c:\Program Files\TWC Graphics Design\ -
then select the folder for the design. Once imported to your web, you
will be able to attach the DWT. |
|
|
|
|
|
Certainly! Open a new page in FrontPage 2003
(click the "blank page" icon to Create a New Normal Page
in the upper left toolbar). Select Format, Dynamic Web
Templates, Attach Dynamic Web Template... Locate the DWT you
wish to attach in the pop-up window, and select Open. |
|
|
|
|
|
With the new web open in FrontPage, go to View,
Navigation. See that "organizational-chart-looking"
diagram of the files? That's where you will change button/banner
names. Simply right click over the box with the name you want to
change, select "Rename", and type in what you want to appear
on the buttons & banners. |
|
|
|
|
|
Please preview the DWT design in question, and read
up on that. In general, if you can easily change the colors,
then it will be stated in the Features listed with design in the
catalog. Many of our designs are graphical, and the colors can
NOT be changed unless you are very adept with a graphics program. |
|
|
|
|
|
Sure - you can do virtually anything with our DWTs
you can do with any web. The only thing to make note of is the
image will need to be sized appropriately so that your page doesn't
"run off to the right" in lower resolutions! |

From one of our customers: "I'm using
XP. To name the banners in Chinese, I go to CONTROL PANEL =>
REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS => LANGUAGE => ADVANCED =>
select Chinese from the dropdown menu for "select a language to
match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to
use". Voila! I did it." |

|
|
|
Our DWTs are DWTIG Compliant, and may be used with
any platform supporting DWTs according to instructions provided either
by the DWTIG or by us. FrontPage DWTs may NOT be used with any
prior version of FrontPage. The FrontPage DWTs MAY be used with
Dreamweaver; however, we have not yet compiled the instructions. |

Ahhhhh... Sounds like you've skipped the most important step!
The .swi file you opened and revised is a raw file useable in Swish
ONLY. It has nothing to do with what shows up on the internet.
Likewise, with Flash files, there is a raw .fla file that is useable
in Flash only, and IT has nothing to do with what shows up on the
internet. The format of the movie that appears online is .swf.
In order to make your Swish file show up in the template and online,
after saving the .swi, select File, Export SWF - then export the file
with the same name as the .swi to the root directory of your web,
overwriting ours. That's all there is to it! |
