Free Dreamweaver templates and how to make your own site

There are many places you can find free Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 templates on the web. The type you pick depends on your HTML/CSS experience. For those interested I have located some WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) Dreamweaver templates. I also recommend checking out HTML templates. These packages contain simple images, backgrounds and templates for your use.

If you would like a guide for creating your website from PSD to HTML check out the one at PSDTuts. Check out their other tutorials, which usually include a PSD file for you to experiment on.

Those with more experience may prefer to download a free CSS template, which contains all the code needed for a clean, polished website. Make sure to use a reset.css file with any CSS template to ensure maximum compatibility between browsers. I have found an online CSS layout generator which will create a simple layout template based on your specified dimensions.

Make sure to put your finished code through a CSS cleaner to ensure maximum speed and compatibility. A final step in the process is to put your site through the W3C Validator to check for any code that is not valid or cross-browser compatible.
