Web Page Template Price Cuts

Thinking about revamping your website? Web page templates are a great way to give your website a new look.

Templates save you time because you don't have to come up with a creative idea for your site. On most of our templates all you have to do is add your text. As an added bonus we've lowered the prices on all of our web page templates. The prices on some have been lowered by as much as $8. Following are our new template prices:

1 page template - $5
2 page template - $7
3 page template - $8
4 page template - $9
5 page template - $10
6 page template - $12
7 page template - $15
8 page template - $16
9 page template - $17
10 page template - $18

We believe by reducing the cost of the templates, a greater range of people will be able to afford them. We have also added several new business, personal and wedding website templates. Visit our web page templates at this url: http://www.hooverwebdesign.com/templates

Webmaster Awards Programs Discontinued

Our Talented Webmaster and Classy Website awards program have been very successful. We appreciated the opportunity to visit so many great websites on the web.

We will keep the present award winners on the website, but will not be giving out any new awards.

Web Design Tips & Tricks

How can I automatically load another page or reload the same page?

You can do this by using Client-Pull or JavaScript.

Here are the instructions for Client-Pull method using <META>:

Use <META> in the <HEAD> section of your document.
Write HTTP-EQUIV and CONTENT in <META> to accomplish client-pull.

Examples

To reload the document itself:

<HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=5> </HEAD>

CONTENT=5 means wait for 5 seconds to reload the page.

To load visitors to another page:

<HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="5;URL=http://hooverwebdesign.com/"> </HEAD>

URL=http://...... This is the URL of the page you want to load a visitor to.

That's it. Is it easy? Remember that HTTP-EQUIV will work in some browsers such as Netscape 2.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher. So, don't forget to make an alternative for visitors who are using old browsers.

Another alternative is using JavaScript.

<html> <head> <title>Auto Reload</title> <script language="JavaScript">  </script> </head> <body onload="timer=setTimeout('move()',3000)"> <p>see this page refresh itself in 3 secs. </body>

Above is an example of JavaScript that will reload a page in 3 seconds. See timer=setTimeout('move()',3000), 3000 is number of milliseconds which equals to 3 seconds. If you want to load visitors to another page, change the URL, window.location = 'http://yoursite.com', to your destination.
