Template Details: Scandinavia

Clean, Bright Design

Scandinavia has a clean, modern design with some great architecture shots and a bold, bright colour scheme. The two-column layout is simple to work with, and the generic nature of the design makes it good for any type of site or blog.

The template's fixed-width layout centres the 770-pixel-wide page body in the browser window. This ensures that the design looks consistent across all screen sizes.

Easy to Edit

All the text on the page is simply HTML text, so you don't need a graphics editor to change the headings or menu for example. Just open the page up in your favourite Web page editor (FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc.), select the old text and replace it with your own.

It's easy to slot in your own logo or other heading image into the page header, replacing the generic "Site Name" logo placeholder image.

The template's HTML code was built by hand to ensure maximum compatibility across Web browsers and editors, and is well laid-out and fully commented for ease of maintenance.

Fully Web Standards Compliant

Scandinavia uses CSS positioning for layout and conforms to the XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS level 2 W3C standards. This ensures a high level of compatibility with today's and tomorrow's browsers.

Flexible Layout

The homepage template features a lovely main header photo and space for a tagline or other intro text, and a 2-column content area for more detailed information. The inner page template is a standard 2-column layout, with main content and optional intro text on the left, and a sidebar on the right.

All the main content areas are stretchable vertically, ensuring that the Scandinavia template can accommodate as much content as you like.

Fast Load Time

The estimated load time of the home page on a 56K modem is 6 seconds. The page is built using CSS positioning rather than a tables-based layout, which results in a much faster and smoother load of the page, and better compatibility with modern browsers. It also improves accessibility, enhancing the browsing experience for text-only browsers and screen readers.
