Server Requirements

Server requirements if they exist, including the need for FrontPage extensions if FrontPage-based forms are used, or requirements for database templates.

This template may include a sample FrontPage form. If you want to use FrontPage forms, your web site will need to be published on a server that has FrontPage extensions. Check with your hosting provider to make sure that you can use FrontPage forms on your site. If not, you can delete the FrontPage form and create your own scripting for a form.

Important note for FrontPage Users

This template uses table-based layout, which means that the layout and columns are in tables and use CSS to define the style and colors.

After you save your page, go to File > Preview in Browser to view your site in a browser and make sure that it really looks as it should.

Also, occasionally FrontPage's Normal/Design view may "lose" the formatting. When this happens, just hit "F5" to refresh the view and the styles will return.
