Well I'm wondering if anyone here has got the knowledge to help me out and is willing to share.
So your graphics designer made you a custom page for your website, the logo template ect. What do you do now to actually take this stylesheet, and add your pitch and extra pitch graphics to it?
What I mean is, I'm familiar with making sites via wordpress installation and ftp But I'm not sure how I'd make a sales page if I had a designer customer make me it.
How do you go about it?
Thanks very much for your answers.

    Well, you edit the HTML to include your content where you want it, not much more to say really.

    If you don't know how to do it, you can find plenty of tutorials on google or youtube, if the site has been built and you just need to add text it's a pretty simple job.

      Hey thanks for the reply Adam. Well the thing is I know about Ftp but most of the stuff I've done was wordpress installation so I didn't have to add graphics other than right from the wordpress sink.
      Now I assume there's a folder in my ftp inside the domain where I'd put the images? And what would the code be in html to make the image appear.

      Should I do this in dreamweaver or are you recommending coding in like notepad?(i dont have dreameweaver but I know they offer a trial)

      And is the template gonna be one document called index.html? How would I make another page?
      Sorry, just in wordpress it's a lot different then what I imagine I would be working with.

        I'd recommend a proper HTML editor above notepad since you don't know HTML very well yet. Dreamweaver is a great tool, but not exactly a beginner friendly.

        You should save the template as it is, under the name "template", then whenever you create a new version name it "index" and upload it. That way you'll always have the blank template ready for the next time.

        It's hard to say exactly what to do, it depends on how the template was made. Are all the font settings in the stylesheet already? Have the div tags to place the text and images already been done or do they need adding or is the layout by table (if it is, use a better web designer next time ) etc.

        I'd seriously recommend going to youtube and looking for basic tutorials on building a website. Or pay someone else to do it, whichever works best for you.

    Make a folder in your ftp for images, then remeber the link to it, for example http://www.mysite.com/images/mypic.jpg

    The html code for it is <img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/mypic.jpg" width="Xpx" height="Ypx" alt="Mypic" />

    Hope this helps.

    Oh and if you would like the img to be a link the code would be
    <a href ="http://www.mysite.com/xxxxxx" taget="xxxxxx">
    <img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/mypic.jpg" width="Xpx" height="Ypx" alt="Mypic" /></a>

    Notepad is fine to edit the page with just make sure you make a back up first so if you do make a mistake your ok.

    If you like mate, i can help you through it if you want, shouldnt take to long.
