Tutorial - Creating a Web Site Template
See full article
Description:
This article compares various different methods for how you can reuse a header or navigation bar for your web site. It is intended for the beginning web developer, though I assume you have basic HTML knowledge.
The focus of this article is not how to lay out a web site using HTML and style sheets - there are plenty of good resources already available for that. Instead, the focus is on comparing different ways to REUSE common components like a header or navigation bar - to create a header and navigation bar just once and automatically attach it to every page. I had a difficult time finding a good overview of this topic when I started web development, so I created this article in the hopes that it will help future web developers.
Topics Covered:
- frames
- Dreamweaver templates
- PHP templates
- ASP.Net master pages
- Templating software
- and more...
