After I run web page wizard, how do I change the Style for site

[Guest]

I'm trying to be efficient in creating some web sites.

The wizard in FrontPage 2003 asks questions re the company, product,
services, etc. and then puts together a complete web site.

However, it's hideous! Butt ugly! Why in the world does the site not offer
a method to choose a cool template or style that can be applied throughout
the entire site?

Or is there a way?

What is an efficient way to find a look and feel for the site and be able to
‘automatically’ apply this look to the entire site; all pages in the site?

Is a Style I’m looking for? Should I try to add a Layer? How do I make
this face lift apply to the entire site?

Is there a free internet site that I can download cool pages? Is there a
wizard to create a cool look?

Thank you and do good work!

I would opt for a slightly "less efficient" method and seek out 1 or more
sources of templates which are designed for FP. They won't be as intuitive
as the wizard, but they will look *much* more professional.

A source i particularly like, and often use myself, is Round The Bend
Wizards - and the help that you can get, via email, is 2nd to none. (Note:
I have no vested interest in them or any other such vendor.) RTB even
offers a few free templates for you to try out - and who know, maybe one of
them will be all you need. You can check 'em out here:

Happy publishing!

One question: Once I lay out one nice looking page, how do automatically
:"apply:" the page throughout the entire web site? I usually find myself
creating a page and then reusing it over and over. The wizard is a nice leap
forward through the links but once I redue the first page - how do I 'auto
apply' it to the whole site?

Cool man...

Save a page as a DWT (Dynamic Web Template), removing all unique
content.
For new pages, attach this template.
Changing the template will automatically change attached pages (disc
based web, and fully updated FP2002 extensions). Pages that do not have
the DWT attached will not be updated.
If attaching a DWT to existing pages, strip them down to the content
only, or you will have duplicated elements in the pages.
