FrontPage Template Frequently Asked Questions

• What comes in a template package?
  The FrontPage template packages come with a custom installer designed to install your template directly into the FrontPage template file system. You will also receive the template files, theme, graphics, sample pages, and support.

• Can I add or remove pages in a template?
  Yes, you can add or remove as many pages as you like. Most of our templates include a FrontPage "page template" or a blank page you can simply copy and then paste into your web's navigation view.

• How do I use a template?
  Simply unpack the zip file delivered to you via email, run the installer, open FrontPage and create a new web from the template you purchased. Now just replace our standard template text with yours, rename the pages and publish. You now have a professionally designed site in no time at all!

• What's the difference between a template and a theme?
  FrontPage Themes define the look of navigation buttons, page banners, fonts, font colors, styles, horizontal rules, bullets, and a few other features. By applying a theme to your web, all of these features will be changed. FrontPage Page Templates, on the other hand, specify a specific page layout. They may incorporate Theme elements (for example, navigation bars), but have a pre-defined page design. It is then up to you to add your own content and create a web site with more pages. FrontPage Web Templates help you to create a new web. Using a Web Template will create a web that has a certain navigational structure in place already, with several pre-designed pages. Using the Web Template will help you to get started; it is then up to you to add your content and add or delete pages.

• Can I use a template for my business?
  Yes, you can use FrontPage templates from BAC Web Design for your business site. You can even use our templates to create sites for web design clients. In the simplest terms, as long as you are not reselling your purchased template or offering it for free to others, you can pretty much use the template as you see fit.

• How do I change the "Your Company" logo to my company name?
  The answer varies by template. The "dummy" company name is either a text or a graphic, depending on the template. If it is text, you can simply type in your site or company name. If the logo is a graphic, the template will include a blank version of the logo graphic. You can use any graphics program on your computer (Paint, Image Composer, Paint Shop Pro, etc.) to add your site or company name and save it to your web folder. If you need a custom logo, you can always contact us for a quote.

• Can I build a site for a customer and sell the site to them?
  Yes, you can sell the template, as part of a site, to a customer. Many web designers use templates to keep costs down and speed their development time. We do not require a link back or any of our graphics to remain in place.

• Is a template removed from the store after I purchase it?
  No, unless otherwise stated, all products remain in the catalog to allow other customers to purchase it.

• Who owns the copyright after I buy the template?
  You're simply buying a license to use the template. BAC Web Design retains copyright over the template design and layout. Any content or images added later are under your copyright.

• Do I need to give copyright credit on my site?
  No. As long as the template is used properly. However, copyright of the template design and layout does continue to be held by BAC Web Design.

• Can I change colors of a template?
  Templates are designed with a color scheme that coordinates with the graphics that are used. The colors of template elements such as background, navigation buttons and graphics are typically not easily modified by the customer. If you need a different color scheme, please contact us and we can discuss making the changes that you need.

• Are templates fully customizable?
  Templates come with pre-designed layouts, images, and Theme components which are difficult for the average user to customize and modify. However, you may create more pages and add your own text and images in the content areas. Some templates do come with customizable pieces -- for example, some templates may come with Swish files for a Swish movie, customizable "blank" images for certain areas of the template, or allow you to change text within a Flash movie. Please see the individual product details to see what the products come with.
