Sample Templates

Over time we will be adding more Expression Web page templates to this section. Initially, the pages will be one sample page with an Expression Web DWT or Dynamic Web Template. Over time site templates with additional pages perhaps including pages with server side processing such as forms or RSS feeds will be included.

All of the samples on this page are free for use on your websites but we do ask that you credit this site as the source. Any additional terms or conditions will be included in the template files.

Instructions:

To view a sample page for each template use the thumbnail image. From the sample page you may download a zip file with all the files required to create the sample page from the included DWT including images and stylesheet.

To download the zip file without first previewing the home page for each template use the template name in the left column..

Full Site Dynamic Web Templates

These template consists of an index page, Dynamic Web Template, associated web pages complete with form pages. Some include a forms processing script.

* To use the form contained in these templates with some other form to email processing script change the file extension on the contact form and and confirmation page. Make sure you update the form to send it to the correct script or processing page and adjust the confirmation page as necessary for your processing script.

One Page with a Dynamic Web Templates

These template consists of an index pages, Dynamic Web Template, associated stylesheets and images.

Simple templates without graphics:

Sometimes graphics can distract from the basic structure of a web page so I've added four basic layouts below with simple color differences and no menus.

• Single centered column with masthead, main content and footer. This DWT is sized in ems so that it will scale with the visitor's font size. You can replace the ems with a width of 760px in the body element to have a fixed width.
• Two columns with a small left side column. This template is sized in ems. Instructions are included in the DWT to make the left side column full height.
• Two columns with a small right side column. This template is sized in ems. Instructions are included in the DWT to make the right side column full height.
• Two column full height-requires main content to be longer than the narrow column.
• Three column layout with both sides height determined by the content. Instructions in the DWT to make the side columns equal height. You may also convert the dwt to a fixed with by replacing the width and margins specified with ems. If you prefer not to constrain the width so that the center column expands or contracts with the browser width remove the width from the container element.

Updated Expression Web "in box" Templates

Below are website packages where I have taken and restructured the site so that every folder has a default html page and folders that are highly unlikely to ever include more than one page have been deleted with their single page moved to the root section of the website.

Once you have downloaded the zip file extract the fwp files. Then create a new empty website then use File > Import and point it to the fpw file to import the new pages to your new local website.
