HTML5 Responsive Design | More Details & See section below.
KEY: MQs below indicates "media queries". The responsive css code for mobile located in the "media-queries.css". See section below and also support details.
Getting Started:
Step 1:
CHOOSE HOME PAGE TO USE: | More Details
This template includes 2 homepage options:
EDIT HEADER: | More Details
Edit the "var logotext" "YOUR WEBSITE TITLE" in the "header.js" near the top with your website name. The font is defined in the "style.css" under "START TEXT HEADER CODE". The logo uses a Google Font. See also "FONTS:" in "Options" below.
USING A GRAPHIC LOGO: Edit the "var logotype" in the "header.js" from "text" to "graphic". In the "picts" folder either replace or edit the "logo.jpg". This image is 600 x 70 pixels in size. If you change the size you must edit the ".logo-respond" class in the "style.css". There is a Photoshop "logo.PSD" file in the "extras" folder. The default font used is 46 point bold "Felix Titling". If you want to change to another image type like .png, edit the "header.js" in 1 place from .jpg to .png (near the bottom) and place your 600 x 70 "logo.png" in the "picts" folder.
Step 3:
EDIT FOOTER: | More Details
Open the "footer.js" file in Notepad, TextEdit, or any text editor, and edit the "Yourcompany.com" text with your company or website name. This will update the footer info on all pages.
Step 4:
EDIT CONTACT INFO: | More Details
Open the "contact.js" in Notepad or any text editor file and change the company name, address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address (edit the email in 2 places). This will update the contact info on the contact page.
Step 5:
EDIT THE CONTACT AND QUOTES FORM:
Click for current info on setting up the template forms.
Click for info on adding more fields to the forms.
Click for changing form sizes or colors.
Because of the complexity of setting up the quote form, there are notes in the "quotes.htm" to help you cut and paste to add new form fields. The form will work with most contact form scripts however you will need help files or a sample form from the script you intend to use. Most form elements work the same way from script to script, however the hidden values usually vary. You may want to consider editing the entire page in Notepad instead of a wysiwyg editor. A contact thanks page is included.
An "OPTIONAL-contact-NO-FORM.htm" page is included that does not use a contact form. Move this page into the "extras" folder if you will be using the contact form. To use this page instead, move the "contact.htm" into the extras folder and rename the "OPTIONAL-contact-NO-FORM.htm" to "contact.htm".
Step 6:
CLICK MENU & HEADER ICON BAR: | More Details
The "header.js" is a complicated file and includes 3 sections. The click menu, the header icons and the graphic or text logo. You may want to make a backup of this file before you do any editing. Edit this file using Notepad or a plain text editor. Click link above for help, options and details.
NOTE: The menu is in the "header.js" so you have less .js files in each page for better mobile compliance.
NOTE: Some header icons hide on mobile screens. See Media Queries section below.
Step 7:
SETUP SITE SEARCH:
Open the "site_map.htm" and edit "allwebcodesign.com" in the "START SEARCH", "END SEARCH" section with your website domain in (2) places. If you require a more custom search with no ads, check in your Google account for info.

Step 10:
EDIT PAGES: | Software choices | Notepad Editing
Edit the text on all HTML pages with your information. You can use Expression Web, Frontpage, Dreamweaver, any wysiwyg HTML editor or a text editor like Notepad. Take care not to delete any of the HTML tags that surround the text.
Step 11:
EDIT TITLE, DESCRIPTIONS & KEYWORDS: | More Details
Open each of the pages and change the title tag (at the very top of the page) and also the description and the keywords with your product or service details. You can edit one page and copy and paste to the other pages. You should use a unique title on each page. Be careful to only change what's inside the "" so you don't disturb the html code. Page titles are important so your site will get a good listing at Google, Yahoo and other search engines.
Step 12:
UPLOAD: | More Details
Upload the pages on to your hosting company's server using ftp software or Windows Explorer or your control panel. Be sure to upload all template files and folders and all files inside the folders. You do not need to upload the "extras" folder.

MQs in this template control many parts of each webpage to conform for mobile and tablet. The responsive MQs css classes are located in the "media-queries.css". Three stages (breakpoints) are used for screen widths of 750, 530 and 482. As the browser width is made more narrow and each "stage" width threshold is reached, code defined in the "media-queries.css" will take effect changing the webpage layout. You can edit these sizes in the "media-queries.css" using any plain text editor.
Hiding header icons for mobile: The "header.js" icons for PDFs and video hide when the MQs kick-in using the class="hidemobile". This is included in the "header,js" as an example. You need to hide some icons for mobile and also test. See click menu details.
