This is the template for you! The Cool 'n Easy Transition SBI Template is changing the lives of SBI-ers just like you. With this unique template, you can have the professional online image you've been dreaming about. Best of all, it uses the same format as your SBI template for blocks, all SBI features and benefits, while taking advantage of CSS, includes files, 3 columns (optional) and more... Everything, plus the freedom of expressing yourself. The template comes with full FREE instructions, tips and tricks on how to build a fully customized design for your web site, plus a lot of other COOL tools. Why choose a Cool 'n Easy Transition SBI Template? I've received many requests for a custom template for “upload your own” that is very, very easy to update, takes advantage of all the SBI benefits, and uses CSS. The last request came from Leyla: Dear Tatiana, I am now thinking of 'upgrading' my SBI template in two ways. I would like to spruce up the look - I like its present colors - but it is all a bit plain... The other thing I'd like is a third column on the right, but that will depend on the price. I don't think I need a full CSS template but please tell me if you differ. At present I'm concerned about cost - I can hardly afford this but I think my site has everything to gain by having a good professional look, especially since traffic is growing. I think my needs fall somewhere between the SBI template and the full redesign but I'm not sure. I would therefore appreciate your taking a look at my site and letting me know what you would charge to do what I am asking - and indeed if what I'm asking makes any sense at all. One more thing ... the one CSS thing I would need is a CSS style sheet rather than a full CSS template... hope that makes sense! You can find my site at http://www.women-on-the-road.com. Many thanks, Leyla September 4, 2007 An idea was born! I developed a transition template from “block-by-block” to “upload your own” to give SBIers like Leyla more options when it comes to the Look and Feel of their online businesses. The transition template is so easy to use and manage! If you know enough HTML to use blocks, especialy if you used an external HTML editor for building your blocks pages, you can use my transition template! It uses the same format as the SBI general template. You still use the SBI navigation bar (if you want), tables and forms, but now you can also take advantage of a CSS – style sheet. Uploading your own gives more flexibility for the design, layout, using the space, placing items, etc., especially if you are using or plan to use CSS. CSS = "Cascading Style Sheet" is a powerful tool on managing your fonts: size, color, position, alignment, and a lot of other things, that will update all your pages - using it - in a snap. CSS, plus the use of Include files is even more powerful - making the whole process of building and updating pages, very easy and even fun :) If you use a WYSIWYG software or do coding by hand, your work will be the same as building your pages using the -block-by-block- system - actually easier. The template has a 3-column and 2-column layout design (depending on your needs) and everything you've ever dreamed of having to build a professional looking site on your own: Use your current design. The layout is based on a 725 pixels wide table, so you don't have to change your design. Just take the elements you have been using for your -block-by-block- site design and place them into the template. (I'll tell you how.) Easy navigation bar. You can use the SBI navigation bar, or a custom text based navigation. In both cases, the update will automatically appear on all your pages. Work with SBI features. You can easily add your -SBI toc- on the first page exactly like working with the block-by-block system. Increase subscribers. I insert the submission to your e-zine form on the 3rd column (as I normally do for all custom designs for -upload your own-). It's more noticeable and doesn't take up valuable online real estate on your home page. Share good news. I insert a place on the 3rd column where you can put important announcements for your site. Updating is a snap. Easy google ads. I provide lots of place holders for all kind of google ads and other advertising (even below the navigation bar). I'll show you how to make the place holders invisible until you need them. Better navigation. I conceived a bottom navigation system that will make your site more organized and easier to access (as I always do for the custom designs). Improved Look and Feel. You'll get easy-to-follow instructions on how you
