Each of these Expression Web templates is css based using no tables for layout. These EW templates are written with an XHTML transitional doctype and have an external stylesheet. You are welcome to use them as a basis for site layout. Changes to colors, font families, font sizes and such should be made within the external stylesheet. The masthead is a graphic image. Depending on MY time constraints, I will be happy to add a site title for you. The templates are in the form of a personal web package, which includes the DWT, and all supporting files, folders and graphics. The images in the content area are strictly to show you how they would look when a 1px black border and/or drop shadow is added.
The Expression Web template layouts are based on an original layout created at my favorite site Inknoise Layout-o-Matic, which unfortunately is no longer functioning. Some of the layouts are based on those available from Eric Meyer's CSS Sculptor for Expression Web. I use this Color Palette Creator to come up with the colors I use.
Clicking on the link under the template will take you to the full size template where you can download the Personal Web Package and import it into your newly created web.
These are basic templates. There are other styles you will need to add as you go along. Google is your friend. Learn to use it to find style info you might need. There are many resources for learning CSS. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. Investigate both the code and the style sheet. Make changes so you understand how the style sheet and coding relate to each other.
Contact Form
If you are interested in adding a contact form to any of these templates packages, you can check out my Sample Contact Form package. The package (in zipped format) contains a contact form that you can edit with detailed instructions on what you need to edit to make it work on YOUR site. The form makes use of James Huggins' email form script which does require support for php5 on your hosting site.
