Fireworks Templates

This entry is part 2 of 14 in the series Fireworks CS5 Tutorial

Fireworks comes with many premade Fireworks templates.

Under ‘Create New’ you will see an option called “From Template”. Here you will find many premade layoout templates which you can easily customize with you own images, text etc.

Choosing ‘Document Presets’ give you the following template options:

You can use the wireframe templates for more generic layouts.

Below is the preview of the Travel wireframe template:

You can insert your images (you will learn how later in this tutorial) to replace the image place holders and change the text to suit your requirements.

More website templates

Though you can use these templates that come with Fireworks, we will create a web layout from scratch for the rest of this tutorial.
