EDIT HEADER: | More details Edit the "logo.png" in the picts folder with your logo image. The background HEX color can be edited in the "css" file in the colors folder. A "logo.PSD" file is located in the "extras" folder. The default font used is 34 points "Garamond Pro" with a letter spacing of 3, and the slogan is 20 points with a letter spacing of 0. The logo width is set by the ".logo-respond" class in the "style.css". To use a different image type like a .jpg or .gif, edit the "header.js" and change the "logo.png" on about line #32. OPTIONAL PLAIN TEXT HEADER: To use the text header option, edit the "var logotype" in the "header.js" from "graphic" to "text". Edit the text following "var logotext" (Your Website Title) with your website name. Edit the "Slogan or phone number 847-555-5555" with your logo slogan. Step 3: EDIT COPYRIGHT: | More details Open the "footer-copyright.js" in Notepad or any text editor file and edit the "Yourcompany.com" text with your name or company name. This will update the footer info on all pages. Step 4: EDIT CONTACT INFO: | More details Open the "contact.js" in Notepad or any text editor file and change the company name, address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address (edit the email in 2 places).

Click for info on adding more fields to the forms. Click for changing form sizes or colors.

If you want to NOT use a form on the contact page, move the "contact.htm" into the extras folder and re-name the "No-Form-contact.htm" to "contact.htm". QUOTES FORM: Because of the complexity of setting up the quote form, there are notes in the "quotes.htm" to help you cut and paste to add new form fields. The form will work with most contact form scripts however you will need help files or a sample form from the script you intend to use. Most form elements work the same way from script to script, however the hidden values usually vary. You may want to consider editing the entire page in Notepad or a plain text editor instead of a wysiwyg editor. Step 6: EDIT GOOGLE LOCATION LINKS | More details This template includes a text location link and a get directions form on the "contact.htm". Click link above to setup these 2 areas. Step 7: REPLACE THE GALLERY PICTURES: | More details | Thumbnail help If you will be using the Paypal cart pages see "Paypal setup" below on this page.

The best way to setup the pictures in the gallery is to replace the .jpg pictures in the "gallery" folder with your own by overwriting the files that are in there now and using the same generic names.

The thumbnails are now 175 x 117 pixels (optionally edit this width in the style.css), Fgallery images are 700 x 467 pixels, but you can make them any size that you prefer.
