Template Details: White Dragon

Give your site a modern, classy look with White Dragon

Design your site with White Dragon and impress your visitors! White Dragon's design is slick and arty, with a refined, understated feel. The smooth gradients, monochrome colour scheme and subtle "dragon tail" motif make it perfect for creating your modern, classy website.

White Dragon uses a fluid layout that stretches as the browser window is resized. This allows sites built with this template to look good and to be readable across all screen sizes, right down to 640x480 pixels.

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.

You can easily slot in your own logo or other heading image into the page header, replacing the "I Love This Site" text heading.

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

White Dragon 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.

Simple, Flexible Layout

The PageKit's home page template features a main content column on the left, and a sidebar area for promotions, news, adverts, and so on.

Use the inner page template to build the other pages of your site. The simple layout - main content on the left, sidebar on the right - gives you a lot of flexibility.

Both page templates feature an optional photos area that you can use to add visual impact to your pages. Each photo can optionally be followed by a text caption.

All non-header content areas - including the sidebar - automatically stretch vertically, ensuring that the White Dragon template can accommodate as much content as you can throw at it.

Suggested Applications

Use White Dragon for any website that needs a modern, refined look and feel. Suggested sites include galleries, online portfolios, wedding sites, and blogs.

Fast Load Time

The estimated load time of the home page on a 56K modem is 11 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.
