Web Template Packaging: Accessing the Elements of Design
The design team at Web Templates Studio prides itself on offering website templates that are as state of the art and easy to use as they are stunning in appearance. From our perspective a web template design is only as good as it is flexible and "common-sensical" in its layout and navigation structure. That being the case, we design each and every one of our web templates with the end in mind. What you, the purchaser, receive as a result is a web template product that allows you to customize in order to turn a pre-formatted design into a full-functioning website that reflects your company or organization in the best possible light.
The packaging offered with each of our web template designs is essential in allowing you a later customization process that is simple and straightforward. When you look at web templates offered on a variety of sites across the Web, what you're seeing are flattened images. These designs might be stunning in that form, but they're close to useless if they're not offered in a layered structure that allows for later customization. With each web template purchase from Web Templates Studio you're provided with a package that includes all the elements necessary to turn your template into the website you had in mind from the outset. As with any great creation, quality elements are of paramount importance. And with the templates featured at WTS, we give you access to each of those essential elements.
Layered PSD (Photoshop) Files
The flattened image, end result you see on the Web is actually a collage of images and shapes that were put together at some point in the design process. In order to make customization changes to your website, you need access to each of these elements. A Photoshop (PSD) file contains these images and shapes in their elemental forms. That means you can go in and change one aspect of the template design, without adversely affecting anything else. Imagine you want to change an image, add your own logo, change the by-line, or add or change a navigation category. Each of these changes is accomplished by accessing the PSD file; the unflattened version of your web template. With each web template offering at WTS you receive the relevant PSD files to make these changes as simple as possible.
Custom CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) Files
Once upon a time websites were programmed with font-tags to display text content in a certain way. All text rendering was accomplished this way. Times however, have changed. Today, text rendering as well as design rendering aspects of a website are all accomplished through the use of cascading style sheets (CSS files). Cascading style sheets allow the HTML on your web template to do what it was originally intended to do- order the actual structural layout of your site.
Not only do cascading style sheets represent the proper way to render design on a website, but they also allow for much simple universal changes on a web template. Imagine that somewhere along the way you want to change your logo colors after a re-branding. With CSS that becomes a simple process. All you do is make the change in one place, one time, on your CSS style sheet. Then magically, all relevant pages feature this change instantaneously.
Imagine how much simpler that is than having to make that same change on each and every page! That's what used to be the case. Now, with CSS, design is neatly organized, much more flexible and straightforward to alter at a later time. With each of the web templates featured at Web Templates Studio you're provided with a custom CSS file that includes all pertinent text and design layout elements. Make changes to color, shapes, fonts, and numerous other design aspects of your web template with a simple change to your CSS file.
