ColdFusion Programming, Dreamweaver .dwt Templates layout, and .CSS
For Jacob's site we took his existing pages and created a ColdFusion, Dreamweaver .DWT and CSS layout for him.
By us creating a Dreamweaver template - .dwt, he can easily update the main template and then perform sitewide updates in Dreamweaver with ease. For the menu system, we used cfincludes and include the menu page and code into his .dwt.cfm template. Now when he adds, edits, or updates the menu, his entire site is updated via 1 included page. Ah, the power of an elite layout at work!
Last but not least, we stripped out all the inline styles from each page and created a master style sheet for him. The Template also uses the styles sheet, so whenever a new pages is created and the template is applied to it, it will include the master styles sheet and keep from using redundant inline styles in each page. In the long run, it speeds up the site once the style sheet is loaded.
