Page Templates
October 20, 1999
Elated's web toolbox
contains pagekits, which are
free pre-designed, pre-programmed page templates that you may download
(in .zip format),
and alter to build your own page from scratch (graphics included).
Pagekits are entire website templates,
with all the code and images you need to get started with a great page.
They are free to use;
all Elated ask is that you mention them and put a link to the
Elated Web Toolbox somewhere on your site.
Although the idea of page templates has been around a very long time,
I haven't seen them offered before; and their set of 15 templates
have an extremely professional look about them (except perhaps the
'Space' one...). They are probably more suitable for 'splash' pages
than for heavy content pages.
Page Validators and Checkers
Having built your page or pages, by whatever means, you might
think that having looked at the results in one or two browsers,
on one or two different platforms, and having seen nothing wrong -
you're all set to publish them. However, this isn't always the case;
there's many more than just two browsers and two platforms;
not only that, but there's several versions of the several browsers,
and having a page look OK in one version is no guarantee that it'll
look OK in the other versions.
There's no sure-fire way to guarantee that your pages are
good under all circumstances, but using some of the various
page checkers and validators can help reduce the potential problems.
HTML-Kit
(described above, under HTML Editors)
can check pages using Tidy, or the CSE HTML validator.
The W3C HTML Validation Service
is very useful if you want to write "standard" HTML;
I recommend it.
Web Site Garage
is an online service for maintaining and improving your Web site.
Automate site maintenance checks,
optimize your graphics and analyze your traffic.
