Some free Dreamweaver Templates for download

I've been designing sites using Dreamweaver for years and finally decided to take a stab at creating some templates.  I have two available for download so far and plan on putting more online in the coming weeks.  They can be found at http://www.pixelrage.com/ in the downloads section.  Please let me know what you think, I'm always open for advice and feedback.
Note:  You'll need to add them to your cart and check out, but they are free and registration isn't required.
Thanks and enjoy.

WordPress is a dynamic site.  It needs PHP and a connection to a MySql database to run.  Unless you have a local testing server (WAMP or XAMPP) installed on your computer, you won't see local content in your browser.
WordPress consists of 800+ files in 80+ folders.  Strangely enough, none of those files are complete pages.  They are all just bits of code which the web server assembles and combines with content from the database.  In short, there are no real web pages.  WordPress is a virtual site; basically a one page site that is created on the fly by the web server.   This is a difficult concept for people who are accustomed to working with static HTML pages.
Unless you're a skilled coder, you must not edit the WordPress core files in DW or you will break the site.   The only things you can safely edit in Code View are the Theme files:
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/page.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/header.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/index.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/footer.php
etc...
http://codex.wordpress.org/Templates
If you're not experienced with code, don't waste time trying to modify your WP theme in DW.  Simply install WP on your server and have a go at it...
InMotion and other reputable web hosts have apps to simplify WordPress installation.  You can invoke the install wizard by logging in to your server's C-Panel and pressing a button.
Good luck!

  • NEW! Free Dreamweaver templates WITH Fireworks vector files

    I just released some free Dreamweaver templates that include
    not only the Dreamweaver template dwt file, but also the original
    pre-sliced Fireworks file with all the template graphics.
    The templates include the dwt, Fireworks file, pure CSS
    menus, are AdSense-ready, XHTML 1.0 valid and are very customizable
    through both the Fireworks file and the CSS.
    If you use one, let me know so I can get a screenshot and
    post a link to your site showing how the templates have been
    customized by various designers.
    Cheers!
    Brodit

    Can you post a link to the PHP page, please? This will allow
    me to see the
    HTML markup on it....

    By Template, are you looking for DW Template.dwt files?

    For starter pages in DW, go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.
    Select a layout from the 3rd panel and hit Create button.
    Or, look at Project Seven's commercial CSS Layouts and Page packs (not free, but well worth the investment if you want a good final product).

  • Free Dreamweaver templates related to photography (fullscreen) see 2 example websites?

    Hi,
    I'm a photographer and I downloaded some Dreamweaver template packs but they are all related to usual corporates, pity enough nothing related to photography.
    Can anyone recommend templates or a template pack (freeware) related to photography?
    By this I mean almost fullscreen to present the pics as they are supposed to), examples : http://www.haringphotography.com/?splash=1 or http://www.sandernagel.nl/photo/commissioned/portraits_various/374
    I have the pictures but not the templates....
    I don't know anything about programming, it may be html or other format html5,... (as I heard that other formats will be for the future, just like flash that gets less interesting)
    This to relace my more amateurish looking free Wix website
    Maybe there are websites with free dreamweaver templates where you can see a picture of the examples ?
    Thanks!!!

  • Non-Dreamweaver templates for Contribute

    Are there any guidelines anywhere for creating the equivalent
    of Contribute editable/non-editable templates for sections of HTML
    pages which were not created by Dreamweaver; for example,
    guidelines on the use of <!-- begineditable--> etc.?

    Ian,
    The Dreamweaver template system works from the standpoint of
    a "deny all, allow some" mentality.
    Initially a Dreamweaver template file allows no editing to
    any sections. When modifying the template in Dreamweaver or any
    other text editor, the addition of the begin/end editable pairs
    enables the editing of any content existing within the tag pair.
    If you want to create a template for use with Contribute
    outside of Dreamweaver just create the file with any editable
    sections you desire then change the file extension to .dwt and
    place it in the "Templates" directory on your CPS managed
    webserver. Any files in the "Templates" directory that end with
    ".dwt" will be loaded on the next startup of the Contribute client.
    By default the Publisher and Writer roles allow access to all
    templates in the "Templates" directory via the Contribute client.
    Also, make sure that the "whatever" text mentioned by Murray
    is unique to each individual editable region.
    Please note that the Contribute/Dreamweaver template
    interaction is *not* a run-time template system. Dreamweaver
    templates are design-time templates. If you have sections of the
    template that change later then those changes will need to be
    applied on a page-by-page basis to each page using a given
    template. This functionality is automatically handled within the
    Macromedia workflow by using Dreamweaver to download the entire
    site then having it update all pages that are based on a given
    template.
    The piece of the code that denotes which template is assigned
    to a given page is as follows:
    <!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/level2.dwt"
    codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    with an acompanying closing tag of:
    <!-- InstanceEnd -->
    The "InstanceBegin" tag should follow the opening html tag
    and the "InstanceEnd" tag should precede the closing html tag.
    The important piece of the "InstanceBegin" tag is the value
    of the "template" attribute. This needs to be the path to the
    specific template file relative to the webroot on the server.
    Hope this helps.

  • More templates for download?

    Are there additional templates for cards and calendars available for download?
    Thanks.

    Wow I love your enthusiasm First, realize that my site isn't all that special... I changed some graphics and colors and fonts, but it's still pretty "iWeb"ish. I like the magazine-style text so I use that a lot and I think that gives the site a more popular look. You can do that too and suddenly you look like you know what you're doing Don't tell anyone I just gave away the big secret har har.
    Okay as far as the next project... give me a few days cuz my mom is in town and I'm helping her find a new house for her and my dad. I don't have a lot of time at the moment. THEN, I have like five projects already on my plate eek!
    1. I have a blank template nearly complete that I wanted to distribute for everyone. This is a TRUE blank page. No hidden required text boxes and no nav menu.
    2. I have a paid job in the works
    3. I wanted to get at least one full set of XML files tagged for everyone (Freestyle template first)
    AH! :-O LOL

  • Additional Templates for Download?

    Are there any additional templates available for free or a fee for download?
    Thanks.

    Do a Google search and you will find several sources of commercial templates for iDVD. HOWEVER, be aware that they may NOT work in iDVD '08! Ask the vendor about iDVD '08 support before purchasing.
    There are also ways of modifying existing templates. Again, a Google search will turn them up.

  • Any good free Motion templates (for this purpose)...?

    I'm doing a video for youtube,  Top Ten list of....
    It will be about 2 mins long.  For each of the top ten I'll spend about 12 seconds on each one giving some text explanation.
    (A bit like Alltime10s on Youtube.)
    Ayone suggest any templates, free or low cost I can use?
    I'm using Motion5, latest.

    Well, each of their top 10 list videos uses a different type of title/text, so that's a tough question to answer easily.

  • Dreamweaver template for a Bed and Breakfast

    Hi, Rather than build from scratch I would like to download a template, I've come across lots of sites but would like a recommendation.It's for a  B&B business.  I'm using dreamweaver creative cloud, have been suing CS4 up until now.
    Thanks...

    Well I hope your lawyer is a good one if you have been suing CS4... 
    Fact is, for what you're doing, CS4 should be very good. Essentially, what you need is something fairly simple.
    What I would do is simply ask Dreamweaver to produce you with a design that pleases.
    First define a site in Dreamweaver. From the menu, that's Site>New Site…
    Then find a folder on your computer where you can put the site, or make one. This is going to hold all of your website's stuff, the HTML files, your images, your style sheet and any JavaScript you need. Define your images folder (create one).
    Then make a blank HTML Page, that's File>New choose Blank Page and HTML and then pick the kind of page you want out of the layouts that come with Dreamweaver. I recommend a 2 column, fixed, left sidebar, header and footer.
    The result will be two files, one will be your style sheet, the other will be your web page (HTML).

  • Is there a general dreamweaver template for astrology generators and the like?

    My goal is to create a page that I can create a calculating generator of pretty much anything.
    I guess what I need is direction, code sites, perhaps a template I could recalibrate to serve
    these unique purposes.
    I am grateful for any help.

    There's nothing built into DW (or an extension of DW that I've ever seen) that can do that.
    You would be looking at hand coding javascript to get that kind of set up. Search Google for "astrology javascript", there should be something out there already built that you can copy/paste into DW.
    To get the exact functionality you're looking for may require hiring a professional to create it for you though.
