Instruction Manual

manual
Each template comes with a comprehensive instruction manual in HTML format to make it easy to view and follow.

Step by step detailed instructions for installing the template as well as editing and customizing the basic elements of your template.

The manual provides instructions for two installation options, "Standard Installation" and "Clone Pre-Production Installation". The clone option is ideal if you already have a live site open to the public, it allows you to create a clone of your site's skin and install the template to the cloned version which will allow you to work on the template and redesign your site without messing up the default skin or causing any interruptions to your site visitors. When you're done tweaking and re-designing your site and confindent everything looks and functions as you want, you can then tranfer it as your default skin

Instructions and packaging of each template has been provided in such a manner to try and make installation and basic editing as simple and easy as possible, even for webmasters who have just a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS.
