| What is a .dwt?
A DWT is a custom template used to give your website a uniform look. Templates are initially created using HTML and CSS
coding. The designer specifies which areas are editable and which are locked. To update changes in a site, the DWT is edited, and all pages attached to it are updated. This keeps navigation and other elements consistent throughout your site.
With a DWT , updating content for your website is easy. The DWT is a separate file from the rest of your pages, changing the look of your site can be achieved without having to edit each page individually.
Why editable regions?
Editable regions allow someone not skilled in .html to update content and there is no risk of them accidentally deleting navigation or vital code, as those regions are locked.
A
template has two types of regions: editable and locked (non-editable).
Dreamweaver editable regions are the sections of a template
that have changing content, such as a newsletter or home page
newsletter. |
