New Internet Marketing WordPress Theme to Make Money with your Blog
March 24th, 2009I just released my new internet marketing WordPress theme called FlexSqueeze this week. You can take a look at it over at FlexibilityTheme.com . How does a WordPress affiliate marketing theme relate to Dreamweaver? Because I created it in Dreamweaver, of course!
FlexSqueeze allows internet marketers to easily create squeeze pages in WordPress. With a one-click sales page function, you can take any page on your blog and instantly strip out the navigation and sidebars and all other blog appearance and drive your visitors to your call to action.
FlexSqueze has a new user-interface, so if you’re familiar with my Flexibility or Flexibility 2 themes, you’ll welcome the new tabbed interface. There is a new "Squeeze Page" tab where you can control your sales page background color, header image, link colors, footer color, headline fonts, overall page font size, and much more. All your squeeze page settings are independent from the rest of your blog settings, so if you run a blog on the domain as well, it will not change any of those settings.
I packaged FlexSqueeze with over 250 sales page graphics that can be used on your pages, and I also created another product called the Squeeze Page Vector Pack . I originally created all the bitmap images included with FlexSqueeze in Fireworks, so as an additional product, I bundled up all the vector images and created both PNG and PSD versions of all the graphics.
If you are a WordPress blogger in need of a way to very quickly create squeeze pages or even complete minisites (there’s a video tutorial to show you how to do this), then take a look at FlexSqueeze and also the Squeeze Page Vector Pack. They are both available at FlexibilityTheme.com .
Niche bloggers need Flexibility Theme for WordPress
January 20th, 2009If you haven’t seen Flexibility Theme for WordPress in action, or if you’ve only used the original version of the theme, you need to grab a download of the newest version of the theme.
Flexibility is a theme that allows you to easily create literally millions if not billions of different blog looks in a matter [...]
DHTML/Flash Dreamweaver menu extensions
December 23rd, 2008
We just added some new Dreamweaver extensions to our lineup. The extensions include DW Tabbed Menus , DW Drop Down Menus and DW Vertical Menus . These are all also available in the DW Menu Pack , which is simply the three individual extensions bundled at a discount. For a limited time, you can get DW Image Show free with the purchase of the DW Menu Pack.
We’ve never offered a Flash menu system on our site before, and these menus actually combine DHTML and Flash to create attractive, search engine friendly navigation. I know what you’re saying, “but Flash doesn’t spider very well, so how can it be SE friendly?”. When the menus are created from the extension in Dreamweaver, it automatically generates a very spiderable bit of code that allows all your favorite search engines to find all the pages in your site.
Each extension creates it’s own version of menu, either tabbed, vertical or drop down. They all come with over 30 styles or “skins” that you can use as your final menu or just use as a starting point to create your own custom menu. The extensions make it painless to customize the fonts, colors, link states, hover effects, appearance effects, and more. If you’re using Windows, you can preview your menu from within the extension and tweak it if necessary without exiting the interface.
The extensions are created by Extend Studio, a Romanian company that specializes in Flash components and Dreamweaver extensions. Their forte is actually Flash-based products and they offer quite an assortment of text effects, movie clip effects, image effects, slideshows, etc.
Another very cool Dreamweaver extension that we’ll be offering soon from Extend Studio is Creative DW Image Show Pro . It allows you to easily create Flash multimedia presentations and slideshows from within Dreamweaver. We’ve used it on some client sites and it saves a ton of time when building image rotation and header intros.
Carbonite offsite backup service can save your hide
November 24th, 2008How much to you backup your files? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Hardly ever?
I unfortunately was a member of that last category up until about two weeks ago. At “the real job”, I lost a directory on one of our server hard drives that contained a ton of data that wasn’t in our routine daily backup. The data [...]
Learn to design CSS websites with CSS Designer Starter Kit
November 6th, 2008If you’re still using table-based layouts for your websites, it’s time to learn how to design using CSS. There’s a brand new (and very affordable) software tutorial called CSS Designer Starter Kit that teaches you step-by-step how to take your Firework or Photoshop design comp to a full-featured CSS website design in Dreamweaver.
Learn the basics of CSS web design like creating multple column layouts, CSS navigation and using the CSS float property to control your layout structure and images. Use foreground and background images in various repeating patterns to reduce the size of your website code.
CSS Designer Starter Kit is an interactive tutorial, which means you actively participate in the learning process so you learn proper CSS design techniques. CSS websites load faster, are more search-engine-optimized due to the condensed code and allow you to make site-wide changes very easily via the stylesheet.
If CSS has always been a little bit intimidating and you’re still relying on tables to lay out your web pages, check out CSS Designer Starter Kit and learn how to design websites more efficiently.
Website designers have a great new resource in SuCasa
October 9th, 2008SuCasa is a new CSS web design community site launched by WebAssist. SuCasa allows designers to download everything from Dreamweaver templates to CSS menus. Users of WebAssist’s CSS Menu Writer, CSS Sculptor and SiteAssist Professional can look for new templates, menus and sites to integrate into their WebAssist extensions.
“SuCasa delivers a ‘one-stop shop’ for web designers to sell and exchange their diverse and professional web designs to each other and to businesses, as well as individuals, looking to enhance their Web presence,” said Michael Lekse, Vice President Sales, WebAssist. “We are thrilled to see the immense growth of this online template community, and look forward to seeing small business owners, developers, and web designers alike benefit from SuCasa.”
For those who are knowledgeable in CSS and HTML and can develop their own templates, or are familiar with the Menu Writer or Sculptor interface, SuCasa allows designers to publish their works for sale on the site. WebAssist takes a small 10% fee for hosting and maintenance of the site, but the rest goes straight into your PayPal account.
Uploaded templates are approved and tested by WebAssist and they also create a set of screenshots from your files to display on the site. WebAssist’s publisher requirements include providing a complete set of HTML documents for each template, so users can edit and use the files in any HTML editor, not just Dreamweaver.
For those of you who already have CSS Menu Writer, CSS Sculptor or SiteAssist Professional, SuCasa will become a go-to resource for extending those programs. By simply downloading a zip file and importing it into the layout manager for each program, you can quickly build a wide variety of sites using WebAssist’s easy-to-use wizard-like interfaces.
To see the selection of templates and menus available, visit SuCasa. If you want more information on the Dreamweaver extensions that can build standards compliant CSS websites more efficiently, visit these links for CSS Menu Writer, CSS Sculptor and SiteAssist Professional.
BlueMesa Dreamweaver template available for download
October 5th, 2008BlueMesa is posted on our free Dreamweaver template page and can be previewed or downloaded. It is another table-free CSS layout with two CSS navigation locations. The template can be easily customized with the included Fireworks PNG file, and we also included a Photoshop PSD export as well. I recommend using Fireworks if you have it, as the PNG file includes all the slices pre-optimized and ready for export.
BlueMesa is based on the Sublime code, with differences in the header navigation and the overall graphic scheme. As with Sublime, the code is nice and clean, and there are the usual pre-styled tags and sidebar content boxes.
