About Me

I have been a web developer for the past 13 years. I enjoy what I do, and so on occasion I like to create new designs and offer them for free to the public. When I got started many years ago, I always found that looking at other designers work was one of the best ways to learn proper development. So this is my way of giving back. Creating all these templates does take a significant amount of time however, any donation (however small) is always very much appreciated. (click here to make a donation.) If you need help with this template, or any other project, feel free to send me a note.


Template Usage

You may use this template in any way you please, just leave the links at the bottom of the page. I love to see how and where my templates are used, so feel free to email me from my site BryantSmith.com.

Customizing the columns

All of the left and right columns have been created so that you can either have one continues box that goes all the way to the bottom, or several different boxes in each column, however you like it. To make multiple columns, select the divs 'leftcol' and 'leftcol_bottom', copy, and paste the below the current ones (still inside of the 'leftcol_container' div). This will create an exact copy of your column directly underneath your current one. The left menu is an example of a long single div, while the right is multiple divs using the above method.

This process is exactly the same for the main column (replace 'maincol' for 'leftcol') and the right as well ('rightcol' instead of 'leftcol'). The site looks good either way you do it, so experiment around with what works best for you. The box below this one shows what an additional main column looks like (as opposed to a long single one)

 

More Template Information

If you want to change the picture at the top to something else, the easiest way to do this would be to overwrite the current image (located at: /images/picture.jpg) with your own JPEG image. Just make sure to keep the same dimensions of 900x237. The headings in all the columns are <h2> tags, and are automatically formatted for you.
