Wickham Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Sometimes when you look at the source code for a website you will see comments like which indicates that a template has been used, but often there is no easy way to see if a template has been used. If you Google for free website templates you will get links to hundreds of them, and you can then download one and edit it. Sometimes it helps beginners because you get a complicated working page given to you and if you have trouble with edits you can download the template and start again, so it can be a good way to learn. There's no substitute for learning to code manually, or aty least to edit a template manually because it's the best way to learn. Edit: if you are creating a website with many pages which all have the same structure, menu, header, footer, etc. you can use PHP "includes" to put the common codes in separate files and use PHP insertion codes in all the main pages so that the page only has the content which is different, all the common parts come from separate "include" files. This means that if you need to edit the menu later, you only have to edit one "include" file and it will be inserted in all your main pages. See a video tutorial or PHP tutorial from a link at the top of this forum page. Edited June 10, 2009 by Wickham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
