Getting Started with DWT Web Packages

These instructions will show you how to use DWT Web Packages. You are required to have FrontPage 2003+.

You may use DWT Packages if you are willing to "start from scratch," using the included sample pages and content in the web template. The instructions below will help you create a starter web site with sample content. You may edit the sample content, delete pages, add more pages, and rename pages as necessary.

  1. Save the download (.zip format) to your computer (note the location so that you can find it!). You will need a utility such as WinZip to extract to a folder. Open the folder.
  2. Run the installer. In the package you downloaded is an .exe. Double-click the exe and follow the prompts to install it for FrontPage 2003. (The package has an additional folder which you will not need if you are starting from scratch.)
  3. In FrontPage 2003, go to File > New, then click More Web Site Templates.
  4. Click the "My Templates" tab and look for your web template.
  5. Specify the location for your new web if necessary, and click OK to build the new web.
  6. You may then open pages from the Folder List and begin editing in the "editable regions." We encourage you to review the template's instructions for more information about changing your logo and using the templates.
