All, I'm somewhat experienced designer and needed some help with one of the template that I'm working with. My client likes the look and feel of www oakleafwaste . com and When I try to save the whole thing as a site , it lets me however when I open the file in Dreamweaver, it opens it as encoded code. I want to get this template and modify it for my client's needs. Please advice if there is any other way to save this. Much appreciated. Not sure if this is common practice here since everyone is in such a good spirit but I'm willing to throw in some money for coffe,cigs and dougnutt! via paypal.
I may have missed something, but can you not copy the css files, javascript and html from the view source on a web browser and then copy it into dreamweaver (each file on its on own I mean) Even if that didnt pull in everything, it would give you a pretty good start.
You can, but you would have to save every single CSS, HTML, Flash, Javascript file and every single image. Then you can build it in Dreamweaver. That would be stealing, or formally known as Ripping. Experienced web designers don't rip. Design it yourself in Photoshop or a design program, slice it, and code it in Dreamweaver. If you can do that, then you can call yourself an experienced web designer.
yeah, the layout is not that complex and bet if you went through some joomla/drupal templates, you could find something quite similar. just change the color and boom, done. just a suggestion.
