Template Details: Warm Welcome

Sophisticated, Seductive Design

With its welcoming feel, refined colour scheme, and mouthwatering imagery, Warm Welcome oozes quality and sophistication, while retaining a friendly, approachable look.

While the supplied imagery makes Warm Welcome especially suited to the hospitality industry (hotels, restuarants, cafes, bars, and so on), it can easily be adapted for virtually any kind of site simply by replacing the images.

The template uses a fluid layout that stretches across the entire width of the browser window, regardless of screen resolution. This allows sites built with Warm Welcome to look good and to be readable across all screen sizes.

Easy to Edit

All the headings and menu options are created using plain HTML, so there are no graphics to edit if you want to change the headings or menu. 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 generic "Your logo here" 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

Warm Welcome 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.

Lots of Room for Content

Warm Welcome features a single-column layout for page content on both the main page and sub-page. These columns can be used for any type of content - text, images, Flash movies, and so on.

All the content areas are stretchable vertically, ensuring that they will accommodate as much content as you can throw at them.

Suggested Applications

Warm Welcome is great for hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, and bed & breakfast sites, or any business in the hospitality industry.

Fast Load Time

The estimated load time of the main page on a 56K modem is 5 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, screen readers, etc.
