Be sure not to delete the "logo=". Also edit or remove the "&slogan=Optional Slogan can go here" with your slogan. Be sure not to delete the "&slogan=". You can edit the seven "&textlines" with whatever words you want to show up on your homepage (index.html). This will update the Flash animation on all pages. There are 2 total flash animations. One on the index, and one for all the other pages. If you wish to use a graphic logo, there are instructions later in this document. Step 2: EDIT COPYRIGHT: | Click for more details Open the "copyright.js" file in Notepad or any text editor and edit the "Your Company" with your name or site name. This will update the footer info on all pages. Step 3: EDIT CONTACT INFO: | Click for more details Open the "contact.js" file in Notepad or any text editor and edit the company name, address, phone and fax number and e-mail address (info@your-web-domain.com in 2 places). This will update contact info on the "contact" page. This is done in a .js file so search engines won't see your e-mail and you'll get less spam. Step 4: EDIT THE CONTACT AND QUOTES FORM: Click for current info on setting up the template forms. Click for info on adding more fields to the forms. Click for changing form sizes or colors. If you want to use only e-mail on the contact page you can remove the contact form from the "contact.htm" between the comment tags. Because of the complexity of setting up the quote form, there are notes in the "quotes.htm" to help you cut and paste to add new form fields. The form will work with most contact form scripts however you will need help files or a sample form from the script you intend to use. Most form elements work the same way from script to script, however the hidden values usually vary. You may want to consider editing the entire page in Notepad instead of a wysiwyg editor. Step 5: REPLACE THE GALLERY GRAPHICS: | Click for more details | Thumbnail Help Because this template includes a slideshow, the best way to setup the pictures in the gallery and the slide show at the same time is not to actually edit the HTML pages and change the pictures on each individual page. The fastest way is to simply replace the pictures in the "gallery" folder with your own by overwriting the files that are in there now and using the same generic names. Replace the 36 "Fgallery" pictures in the "gallery" folder with full size photos. Replace the 36 "gallery" pictures with your thumbnails. The thumbnails are now 130 x 87 pixels. This is a fixed size on the pages for better display. You can make your full sized pictures any size that you would like, because the popup and slide show will automatically resize themselves. You may want to replace some of the pictures in the "picts" folder with your own pictures. All pictures are named to correspond to the pages that they are displayed on. They are all .jpg and .gif files. IMAGE VIEWER OPTIONS: | Click for more details You can change some options for the gallery and slideshow image viewer page (image-viewer.htm) by editing the pop-closeup.js in Notepad.

You can edit one page and copy and paste to the other pages. Be careful to only change what's inside the "" so you don't disturb the html code. Page titles are important so your site will get a good listing at Google, Yahoo!, Bing and other search engines. Step 8: UPLOAD: | Click for more details Upload the pages on to your hosting company's server using ftp software or Windows Explorer or your control panel. Be sure to upload the "picts" and "gallery" folders and all files in these folders. Options: USING A GRAPHIC LOGO: You can replace the Flash logo with a graphic logo. To do this, delete or rename the "header.js" and the "header_home.js", then rename the "graphic_logo_header.js" to "header.js" and the "graphic_logo_header_home.js" to "header_home.js".

USING THE PINK MENU BACKGROUND: To change the menu background color to pink: In the "picts" folder, delete or rename the "menu-background.gif". Rename the "menu-pink.gif" to "menu-background.gif".

CHANGING LINKS / ADDING TO THE MENU: | Click for more details You can change the names of the links like "about" or "clients" to other page names by editing the "menu.js". Only change the one instance of the name and not the name with the ".htm" after it. Whatever you change in the menu.js will change every page on the website. Keep the names short so they don't go outside the menu. You can add more pages by copying one link in the "menu.js" and pasting it right below the next.

SETTING UP THE SLIDESHOW PICTURES: | Click for more details The slideshow is currently setup to display all 36 pictures in the gallery folder. If you would like to add or remove pictures from the slideshow, open the slideshow.htm in Notepad and look for the "EDIT THIS AREA" note.

SIZING THE SLIDESHOW: Edit the variables at the top of the "pop-closeup.js" to change the slideshow popup size or to not have it work as a popup. SITE MAP PAGE: The "site_map.htm" is linked from the index.html.
