| Templates... Since I am very new and not exactly fluent with HTML, does anyone have any good looking church site templates they could pass my way?   |

| Althoguh I don't have any directly to give you at the moment, I would advise some tips: Any template demo page, send it through validators of both HTML (http://validator.w3.org/) and CSS (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) If you are going to use something like Dreamweaver, look specifically for templates made for it (preferably the version you are using). If you get a mostly flash template, make sure that it's not nearly 100% flash, where people cannot see much at all without flash. Be careful if you decide to opt for the "unique" purchase of the template, where they offer you the template for $$, but for $$$ you get exclusive rights and they won't sell it to anyone after that. I have actually seen a site that still offered this AFTER at least two other sites were using it (had some unique items that made a good search easy to find the two). I have purchased a template before though. I'll see if I can find it on my server and send you the url to where I got one from. -Greg |

Now of course, if it is something easy to fix, would still be a worthwhile product, especially for me because I'm horrible at coming up with original designs. Thanks for posting the link to it! -Greg |

| Sure thing... remember it doesn't mean the artisteer code is invalid. It is easy for the person using it to imput bad code into the template. trust me, I know

| Update. Ok, I installed it on a test system, and I will fully admit, I'm very impressed with that. Unlike the sites I tested (see previous post), each one it made did validate. I work at a web development company, and just showed it to one of the guys who is very good at markup/layout for his opinion on the way it builds the site, and even he was impressed with it, with only a few small things he would do differently, but eay to adjust after given final template. Now I tried it for generating a static page template, will be trying it this weekend for a Drupal template to see how well it integrates with that. -Greg |
