| 3. General Template Questions |
| 3.1. | When I purchase a template, what exactly will I be downloading?
After making a purchase, your template will be made available to you as a ZIP archive file.
ZIP files are "archives" in that they contain other files, and are usually compressed to
not only save disk space but also speed up file transfers. "Unzipping" utilities are used to
extract and decompress the files contained in a ZIP archive, and are available on all
operating systems and computer architectures. For more information about unzipping files in Windows,
please consult our QuickStart Guide.
| | 3.2. | Will these templates work on Mac OS or Linux?
Yes. All of our templates will work on any computer/operating system, including Mac OS and Linux. If you are using Mac OS X, you can
open the template ZIP files with the built-in Archive Utility. For older versions of Mac OS, use
StuffIt Expander. For Linux and other
platforms, use the free unzip utility.
| | 3.3. | Can I change the pictures, photos, etc. that are shown in your templates?
Yes, you can change any of the pictures shown in our templates. For most of the images, such as small photos and pictures,
you can simply swap them out for your own images. For other images, such as those integrated into the design
of the site, you can use an image editor such as Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop to change them.
| | 3.4. | What is that weird "Lorem Ipsum Dolor" text shown in your templates and why is it there?
"Lorem Ipsum Dolor" text (or simply "Lipsum") is commonly used throughout the design industry as placeholder
or sample text. At a glance it looks like normal text, which helps demonstrate what a template would
look like if it were filled with real content.

| 4. Website Templates |
| 4.1. | What is a website template?
A website template is basically a premade web page, similar to other kinds
of templates you may have come across (such as document templates in a word
processor or a greeting card template). The template includes a complete
layout with graphics, but does not include any text.
| | 4.2. | Why would I need a website template?
Creating an effective web design can be challenging and even too
time consuming in some situations. It's possible to pay a web design
firm to create your design, but this isn't an option for everyone due
to the high costs involved.
However, by using a website template, you get the benefits of a design made by
real design professionals at a fraction of the time and cost. Simply
choose the design you want, purchase it, and start building your site
immediately.
| | 4.3. | I develop websites for my customers. Can I use your templates?
Yes, you can purchase templates from our site to build sites for your
clients. This is ideal for designers who want to provide quality work
to their clients at a lower cost.
Please note this is subject to some restrictions. Please read our
Terms of Use for more information.

| | 4.5. | How many pages come with this template?
The number next to Included Layouts indicates how many different layouts
come with the design. Some designs may include a layout for your site's home page
as well as a layout for site's subpages, while others may include just one layout
for all pages on your site.
If you purchase a HTML, XHTML/CSS, or Flash/HTML template, you can have an unlimited number of pages on your site. You can,
for example, make several copies of a template's subpage layout, one for each
page on your site. A short guide explaining this procedure can be found here.
| | 4.6. | I need to add more content to a template's subpage than what is shown in your preview. Will the template fit to my content?
Yes. Unless otherwise specified, all layouts included with XHTML/CSS, HTML and Flash/HTML website templates will expand vertically to accomodate
any amount of content without becoming distorted. This means the design will look great all the time, even if you have
thousands of lines of content!
