Creating template pages

A Dreamweaver template is a special type of page that contains a preset page layout, and includes elements such as page banners and navigation menus. In Contribute, you can create a page based on Dreamweaver templates. You can also edit a page based on a template or edit template properties for a page based on a template. A template gives you a starting point for new website pages and can ensure that your website has a consistent look when you create pages based on a template.

In a template, the designer or site administrator creates regions to control which elements on a template-based page you can edit. There are editable regions in a template, which you can edit, and locked regions, which you can’t edit.

To create a new page based on a Dreamweaver template, access the File pulldown menu and select New Page. In the New Page dialogue box, look for the name of your site on the list if the left-side panel. Templates you have permission to use are located in the Templates folder on your list of new page types.
