Please help me

Templates are cool!

First, design a page that you want to reuse.

Second define a site

Third turn it into a template.

After that create the editiable regions and those uneditable regions.

I know I'm oversimplifying it, but design the page first.

The index page is soon finished (TraXter design) What should be editable and what should not?

Thanx

Non editable (look and feel)
Logo placement
Banner Text/Titles
background colors
navigation (except for links)
copyright and developer info

Editable (content)
Text
Graphics
Forms
Interactions

Hmm.. thanks... but the link pages should be updated when the template (dwt) file changes??? It does not!

If your links are absolute, you shouldn't need to worry about it.

If their relative you'll need to make the nav bars editable regions.
