You have the domain, you have the hosting account. Now what? Creating your site doesn't have to be an impossible task. Dotster provides software tools, educational materials and templates to help you make it a success.

Templates and Stock Imagery
Website Templates Web templates define the layout, colors, graphics, and design elements of each of your web pages. Whereas a site template sets architecture of your entire site, a web template determines if your background is blue or green or a checkered pattern. Choose a layout that suits your needs or tastes, then add your own images and content to make it truly custom. To view more information or to order a template, click the "details" button.

Logo Templates Logo templates are pre-designed logos formatted in Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, or basic TIFF format. All you do is save the file, open it in the proper graphic design software and type in your company name or other information and resave it.

Flash Templates A flash intro template is a ready-made flash piece that contains placeholder text. You insert your own logo, your text, and your company name—whatever you want—using Macromedia Dreamweaver. Sometimes all you need is a basic Flash template to start with. If you want to be ultra creative, you can design your own Flash piece in Dreamweaver, but standard Flash intros work well for many folks. Dotster provides you high quality flash intro templates in FLA format, as well as our support assistance needed to customize it to fit your needs.

Stock Imagery Dotster has partnered with 3rd-party imagery resources to provide you with excellent choices in stock imagery. Choose from thousands of stock photos, logos, emblems, and so on, to customize your site to your specific needs.
