FP2003 site -face lift

[Anthony Smith]

Good Morning,

I hope everyone is doing well today. Our website has been online for maybe
more than 5 years and we're finally giving it a face-lift. The site is a
technical resource for a lot of our customers. Nothing really flashy about
the site but we are giving it a new look. We have the headings and general
look that we want for all the pages. We've got maybe 1 layer of the site
done. Now we want to take the existing pages and apply the new look to it.
What is an easy way to do this? On the 'old site' we used a front page
theme that is used throughout the site. Now that we have a new look and it
isn't a frontpage theme, we had a designer do it for us, we'd like to
somehow give the rest of the pages the new look. Is there an easy way to do
this? I'm not sure if I can make the new look into a theme and then apply it
to all the pages? Please advise.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Anthony Smith

Use a DWT for your page layout template and apply it to your other pages (after removing the theme from all)

Thanks. I got a regular template but didn't know how to apply it to pages
already made. I'll look into the dynamic web template. Thanks, have a
blessed day!

Good Afternoon,

That DWT worked out great for us, we got the site up. I removed the shared
borders and the theme off the pages and applied the DWT to the pages. It
worked nicely. There was one minor problem I had. There was a piece of code
on each of the pages that I wanted removed (it was a small little heading I
had at the top of most of the pages). I tried doing a search and replace
through ALL the pages and it couldn't find the page. But when I did a
search and replace of an individual page, it could find it. I selected the
option to search in code but it couldn't find it. It was a 2-3 column table
I had at the top of most of the pages. Since I couldn't do a mass search
and replace of all the pages, I had to open them individual and CUT/delete
the table. That took a little while but I like that DWT. That works really
nice. In case someone doesn't know it's called Dynamic Web Template.

Thanks you saved us a lot of time! Keep up the good work.
