How can I edit the content of my web pages?
If you're using an HTML Design you'll need to edit the .html files to include your content. This can be done via programs like Frontpage and Dreamweaver or they can be edited using any text editor.
You'll need to unzip the files from the downloaded zip archive first. If you're not familiar with HTML here is a good tutorial.
There will be a file called preview.html which is a web page that can be opened with any browser. You will need to copy that file for each web page of content that you wish to create. Then open the files with any text or HTML editor and edit the content of the pages.
If you're using a Content Management System (CMS) like Wordpress, then the content of your site can be edited via a web interface and you probably won't need to learn HTML.
How do I upload the design to a web server?
For plain HTML pages, this is generally done with via File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Filezilla is a good free FTP client. You'll need to unzip the files from the downloaded zip archive before uploading via FTP.
If you're using Wordpress, then simply upload the theme via the admin pages. Wordpress uses zip archives to store themes, so you do not need to unzip them.
Can the Wordpress themes be used for the free Wordpress.com sites?
No. Wordpress.com does not allow uploading of themes. They charge a fee for being able to use custom CSS to skin a site, but even that will not be usable with Cool Template themes.
You will need to have Wordpress on a traditional hosted server. This will also give you the benefit of being able to install Wordpress plugins.
Where can I get a domain name?
You'll need to register one with a domain name registrar. We use Namecheap for our own domain names. Your web hosting company might also be able to help you with this.
How can I set the fonts of my design?
Currently, there's not an easy option to set this via our editor. We'll be adding one in the future.
Until then you can edit the generated style.css file and set the fonts via the font-family line near the top of it.
Can you show me some sites that use Cool Template designs?
Sure. We've got a page for that.

If I buy a Cool Template subscription will you send me a CD with the software?

Do you guarantee the Cool Template service?
Absolutely. If you're not satisfied for any reason within 30 days then we'll give you a full refund, no questions asked. We don't want your money unless you are amazingly happy.
Do the Cool Template designs support IE6?
No. Internet Explorer 6 usage is in the single digits and is declining rapidly.
