Several Web templates have been created to use for official college page(s)/site(s). The templates can be edited in most html programs including Dreamweaver, GoLive, Netscape Composer, etc. (FrontPage users click here) Each of these templates is available in two forms:

1. Using html tables for standard elements
2. Using server-side includes for standard elements

The html for each of the template options is saved as a rich-text format (rtf) document. To copy the html, click on the link above the template you wish to use. You will be asked to either open it or save it to disk. You should be able to select Microsoft Word as the program to open the file. If not, save the file to disk and double-click on it to open. Once opened, you should Select All, then Copy and Paste the code into a new file in your html program.

Questions about the templates, or about any topic related to campus Web development, should be directed to Amy Aasen, Director of Web Services, 218.299.3939.

Three-column (with site navigation)
This style works well for departmental home pages. The colored table in the right column is a good place for information that should stand out (faculty contact information, departmental announcements, etc.).

Format to copy: html tables | server-side includes




Two-column
(with site navigation)
This style works well for pages that require a large amount of text. It includes the standard site navigation but leaves two-thirds of the page available for your content.

Format to copy: html tables | server-side includes




Two-Column
(no site navigation)
This page layout allows for a great deal of flexibility. It strays from the standard look of having the bulk of the content on the right side of the page, putting the largest amount of space on the left.

Format to copy: html tables | server-side includes



FrontPage Templates
The college has a license for Microsoft FrontPage. Pages created and maintained in FrontPage are served on a Microsoft Web server (www4). Keith Landa (4212) is the FrontPage administrator and the contact for FrontPage questions.
