These templates contain everything needed to be found. No less. And no more.
To use these templates modify the title, headlines, body copy and links to sub pages.
Graphics don't have any effect on ranking and can be adapted to your requirements.
Site navigation shouldn't use graphic elements except for link backgrounds.
The major DIVs in these templates have been coded in such a way that sections in the source code don't necessarily need to be in the same order as seen in a browser. The site navigation block can be moved to the beginning or end of the source code in almost all of the templates.
META tags were useful during the 90s. Today this is no longer so. I therefore have omitted them completely.
Almost all designs are fluid, adapting to the width of the browser window. With some templates graphic elements scale according to the browser window width [i.e. Antiques, Democracy, Safari], mostly they are static, however.
Most designs with multiple columns have one fixed width column. The other[s] scale according to browser window width.
Type sizes have been set using percentages to allow each user the final say over the sizes used in his [or her] browser. Only in print.css have I hard-coded type faces and sizes [10 pt serif].
CSS and HTML should be rendered perfectly in standard conforming browsers.
Although Microsoft's Internet Explorer understands only a limited subset of standard css I have tried to use conditional comments to get MSIE to render these pages as close to the target design as possible. Sometimes, however, this is just not possible.
The templates have been tested in several browsers based on the Gecko or Webkit rendering engines on OS X and Linux systems [incl. SeaMonkey, Firefox, Camino, Safari, Konqueror, OmniWeb] plus Opera.
All the templates were also tested in Microsoft's IE versions 5.5, 6 and 7.
Most of the things in common.css and print.css unfortunately aren't understood by Internet Explorer.
If you need help in adapting one of my templates I'll be please to undertake most jobs. You'll find a list of services I provide and approximate cost on my price list.
Please note, however, that I will only use copy supplied by you. I do not engage in copy or any other type of writing.
I would like to ask you to leave the link to SEO Templates in place to allow others to find these templates.
I have packed the HTML, CSS and where relevant, the images files, into sets for downloading.
Most of the photos used were found at the Stock.XCHNG. You can use these photos free of charge as I did, but you will have to download them yourself from Stock.XCHNG [free registration required], as their terms disallow storing these photos for download somewhere else. Each set includes a text file listing the URLs for any photos used.
The following screen shots show each design at three sizes: SeaMonkey, 840x1040, Firefox, 1152x900 and Opera 1600x1200.
