This is the page template for ProChrome Real Estate (blue). This uses the ProChrome theme.
Web Template
This eight-page web template will help you to
easily create a web. When you are making a new web
(File / New / Web), just be sure to select
the "ProChrome Real Estate (blue)" web template.
You may want to preview the web in a browser
before you start working (File / Preview in
Browser). Then, begin customizing the web
structure to fit your needs by adding and deleting
pages!
To add pages, go to File / New / Page
and then select the ProChrome Real Estate (blue) Page
Template (see below for more about page
templates). Save and name your file, then go to
Navigational View to drag the page into the
navigation structure. Then you may edit the left
navigation bar properties (if you want to link to
pages on the same level, or to the parent level,
or to the child level) and add your content.
To delete pages, right-click on the page
in the Folder List and select Delete (or go
to Edit / Delete). You may wish to do this
with some of the pages in this template that you
don't need.
You may change the navigation structure by
going to Navigation view.
About the Splash Page
The Splash page (default.htm) is currently the
only page in the very top level. It is also
FrontPage's "home" page. If you do not
want to use the Splash page, you may delete it
from your navigation structure. If you do not want
to delete the other pages, you will have to move
them. They are currently child pages of the Splash
page, so drag them to the same level as Splash so
that they are separate. Then delete the Splash
page. You will then have to create a new home
page. Either rename one of your existing pages or
create a new page and name it "default.htm".
Don't forget to drag it into your navigational
structure!
You may customize the Splash page with your own
text! This page is your "home," so you
may want to consider having information like
"recent news" or "how to use this
site." Please open the Splash page to find
out how to use it.
Page Templates
This theme has a page template called
ProChrome Real Estate (blue). To use a page template to
add more pages to this web, go to the menu bar and
select File / New / Page (do not use the
"New Page" icon on the taskbar -- this
will give you a blank page without a page template
applied). Then select the ProChrome Real Estate (blue)
page template!
Warning: Do not change the tables!
These page templates have been carefully put
together in tables so that they will look good in
Netscape and Internet Explorer. If you want your
site to look like these, do not drag any of
the main table borders! This will cause your page
to look "cut off."
About this Page Layout
Mix of One-column and Two-column Layout
|
This section has two-columns. You may move
this section to any part of the page.
Click within this box and go to Table |
Select | Table. Then click, hold, and
drag to where you want to place it.
If you want your whole page to be a
two-column layout, simply delete the text
above and below this table.
If you don't want this two-column
table, highlight the cells, right-click,
and select Delete Cells.
Left-side Info Area
This space is limited to the size of
the graphic. Be sure to limit the amount
of text that you put in there. To replace
this graphic with a blank image (with the
pipe), right-click below this inner table
and select "Cell Properties."
For the background graphic, select "left_graphic_blank.gif"
Top Graphic
If you want to get rid of the top
graphic, click on it, right-click and
select Picture Properties. In the
"Picture Source" field, replace
"top_graphic_reb.gif" with "spacer.gif".
Then click on the "Appearance"
tab. Uncheck the "Keep Aspect
Ratio" box and type in the width as
258 and the height as 88. Make sure that
the "Specify Size" box is
checked. |

Info
Box |
 |
| Put highlighted info
here! This box is
useful for information
that you want to stand
out!
To get rid of this
table or column,
highlight these cells
and delete them.

To make more copies of the info box,
you will have to go into the HTML. Click
inside the Info Box and then go into HTML
view. You will hopefully be in the correct
area and you will see a greyed-out line
that says <!-- begin info box -->.
Scroll down until you can see a similar
grey line that says <!-- end info
box --> and highlight the entire
section. Copy this text. The tricky part
is figuring out where to put the
code. Scroll around in HTML view and
you should see more grey lines that will
give you an idea of where you are.

Home and Email buttons
The Home button links to your main page (not
the splash page). To link the home button to your
splash page instead, click on the Home button and
type Control-K (or right-click and select Hyperlink
Properties). Then replace "home.htm"
with "default.htm".
You will have to link the E-mail button to your
e-mail address. Click on the E-mail button and
type Control-K. Then click on the envelope
icon and type in your e-mail address.
If you don't want the Home or Email buttons,
replace them with the images below. Delete the
Home and Email buttons, then drag these images to
replace them.
