Template Development

At the most basic level, Immediacy templates are simple HTML files with a few special tags to include dynamic content or plugins.

 

This enables web designers who are familar with tools such as Dreamweaver or Frontpage to jump straight in and start building Immediacy websites with minimal learning. Developers who prefer text-based editing tools or IDE's such as Visual Studio are also easily able to pick up Immediacy templates.

 

Immediacy templates can use all the latest HTML coding standards such as CSS 2 and XHMTL strict or transitional.

 

Dynamic functionality such as menus can be included into templates using Immediacy plugins.

Menu plugins examples of what are known as "templated controls". This means that template designers can increase the flexibility of the system by customising the HTML that is output by the menus.
