OPTIONAL PLAIN TEXT HEADER: To use the text header option, edit the "var logotype" in the "header.js" from "graphic" to "text". Edit the "var logotext" "YOUR WEBSITE TITLE" text in the "header.js" with your site name. Step 3: EDIT COPYRIGHT: | More details Open the "footer-copyright.js" in Notepad or any text editor file and change the "Yoursitetitle.com" text with your name or company name. This will update the footer info on all pages. Step 4: EDIT CONTACT INFO: | More details Open the "contact.js" in Notepad or any text editor file and change the website name, address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address (edit the email in 2 places). This will update the contact info on the contact page. Step 5: EDIT THE CONTACT FORM: | More details Click for current info on setting up the template forms. Click for info on adding more fields to the forms. Click for changing form sizes or colors. NO FORM OPTION: If you DO want to use the contact form, move the "No-Form-contact.htm" into the "extras" folder. If you want to NOT use a form on the contact page, move the "contact.htm" into the extras folder and re-name the "No-Form-contact.htm" to "contact.htm". Step 6: REPLACE HOMEPAGE SLIDESHOW IMAGES (optional): | More details The homepage (index.html) includes a jQuery responsive slideshow application. In the "JQuery" folder replace 6 images, "imageJQR-1.jpg" through "imageJQR-6.jpg". Make your images 1000 x 425 pixels. This will update the homepage animation.

Edit the "paypal@your-web-domain.com" in this page with your Paypal e-mail and you can use this page to accept custom payments by sending clients a link to this page and having them fill in the amount on the payment page. To remove the form, delete the code between the notes for the Paypal form in the "payments.htm". Step 9: SETUP GALLERY & CART: | Gallery setup help | Image text editing Because this template includes a slideshow for each gallery, plus text with each image, the best way to setup the images in the gallery is not to actually edit the gallery HTML pages and change the picture names on each individual page. The fastest way is to simply replace the pictures in the "gallery" folder with your own by overwriting the files that are in there now and using the same generic names. Gallery thumbnails, named "gallery?-?.jpg" in the "gallery" folder, are 150 x 100 pixels in size. Gallery large closeup view images, named "Fgallery?-?.jpg", are 700 x 467 pixels. You can make these images any height you would like, but the 150 and 700 widths can only be changed by editing the "style.css" (see notes in the css file to find these width classes). Click here to not use text in the viewer with your images and for other options. EXAMPLE: SETUP GALLERY IMAGE 1-1: In the "gallery" folder replace the "gallery1-1.jpg" with a 150 x 100 thumbnail image. Replace the "Fgallery1-1.jpg" with a 700 x 467 .jpg of the same image. In the "gallery_pages" folder edit the "Fgallery1-1.htm" with your item details and order button details (see next step). Now open the "gallery1.htm" page and check the first image on the page, click on the image to see that it is setup. Your first image will be setup and you can proceed to gallery image 1-2.

Follow the steps below to setup the shopping cart pages. This template includes "Type 2" Paypal forms.
SLIDESHOWS SETUP: | More details Images in the 6 slideshows correspond to the images in the 6 galleries and are setup when you edit the gallery images in the step above.
