Microsite! - Big content, low bandwidth

Finally, a Dreamweaver template that focuses on 100% CSS!

We've designed a Dreamweaver template that utilizes CSS almost to it's fullest extent. The entire look and feel of the site can be completely altered by simply modifying the current stylesheet.

The only image used in this entire template is the spacer image. The spacer image itself is less then 1k in size! The rest is 100% defined by CSS. This is excellent if you would like to edit the colors. It's as easy as modifying the CSS, and that's it!

"So tell me, what is the purpose of this Template? Why would I want to use it?"

Good question. Have you ever needed a website that contains possibly 100's pages of material? This site is focused on utilizing a menu system that could have the ability to organize 100's of pages. I have done my absolute best to make any additions as easy as possible. The submenu is put together in a fashion to allow you to add further flyout submenu items with little effort. Think of it, you would have a tremendous head start on your site, saving you valuable time!

"I have noticed the layout looks like www.microsoft.com?"

Yes, you have noticed correctly! I did indeed copy the layout of the Microsoft website for this template. This I will also tell you: The HTML, CSS and Javascript is MUCH tidier then the Microsoft bunch website. I am not here to bash Microsoft, simply because I believe their layout for a massive amount of information is excellent! I just simply believe that their layout can be re-created in a very efficient manner, while retaining the usability of the submenu's to organize large amounts of documents.

"Was this template entirely created in Dreamweaver?"

Yes, as a matter of fact it was. Dreamweaver MX was used to create this template. Topstyle Pro 3 was used in the creation of the CSS. All javascripts were either Dreamweaver MX stock, or used from extensions that are readily available for free. No commercial extensions were used at all. You will need to download a few free extensions from www.projectseven.com to help manage how the style sheets load and to create more flyout menu's.
