Editing Your Template in Dreamweaver

Allwebco templates were originally created in Notepad but they can be edited using Dreamweaver also. Some edits will need to be done in a text editor like Notepad or SimpleText. Because the templates were created to be used with any HTML editor, they do not contain special files specifically for Dreamweaver.

Step #1:
Download and unzip your template. Click here for unzip info.

Step #2:
Once you are unzipped, first thing, find the help.html and follow the steps. You will want to start your editing on your local hard drive before you upload the site using FTP software. Before you use Dreamweaver you will need to edit some files in Notepad or a Simple Text editor. Click here for Notepad editing and go through the 4 steps.

Step #3:
After you have edited the flash.txt, header.js and other files in Notepad, you will want to edit your site using Dreamweaver. Open Dreamweaver, browse to the directory where you unzipped the template files and start with the index.html. (if your template has an intro you may want to start with the home.htm).

You will also want to edit the page titles and keywords. Click here for title help.

Previewing Your Template:
While you are editing in Dreamweaver, the Flash animation, your header, footer and menu may not be visible. This is because of the global javascript files. Those are edited using Notepad (see above). You will want to have Dreamweaver open as well as your web browser at the same time. Edit a page in Dreamweaver, then open the same page (you can drag and drop from your website directory into the browser) in your browser and view the edits. Edit some more on the page and then "refresh" (F5) your browser.
