Template Details: Paraglider

Bold, Sporty Design

Paraglider's lively colours and outdoor imagery will lend a sporty, vibrant look to any site. The original "box" layout on the main page will grab your visitors' attention, while the more laid-back sub page has room for plenty of content.

This template's fixed-width layout centres the 756-pixel-wide page body in the browser window. This ensures that the design looks consistent across all screen sizes.

Easy to Edit

Nearly 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.

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

Paraglider 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

Paraglider features a box layout for the main page, which is great for news headlines, featured products, site highlights, and so on. The 2-column layout on the sub-page is flexible enough to take any type of content.

The sub page content columns and the bottom columns on the main page are stretchable vertically, ensuring that they will accommodate as much or as little content as you need.

Suggested Applications

The Paraglider template is great for sports or other outdoor sites, or any site needing a lively, vibrant look and feel.

Fast Load Time

The estimated load time of the main page on a 56K modem is 9 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.
