Hi Colin

Dreamweaver templates allow you to create pages based on the template, then
when you update the template the pages are automatically updated.
the template file is basically a HTML file with a .dwt file extension
which is stored in a Templates folder in the root of the site structure.

The real difference is a bit of extra code to identify editable areas of the
page which can be edited on the individual pages (with Dreamweaver or
Contribute).
e.g. content
and a tag at the top of each page which links it back to the template.

Try looking at Macromedia's web site, you can probably download a 30 day
demo of Dreamweaver.

Hi Guys,

One of my clients has asked me to provide them with Dreamweaver
templates so that they can build and maintain their new site which I
am designing.

As I hand-code my HTML I don't actually use Dreamweaver so was
wondering if there were any special requirements for this? Or if I
should just provide a basic site structure in hand-coded HTML for
them to work with.

Any advice would be most welcome.
