Expression Engine Templates

Due to the open and easily editable nature of ExpressionEngines template system it is easy to add any design. At the most basic level, EE will publish anything to the site put into a template.

As an example, one could get any template, preferrably Web Standards CSS, and add the EE tags as needed.

To make things easier, BKDesign has a series of two and three column expression engine templates you can purchase  for 25.00. These are not only for those wanting to do their own design but also for developers and anyone wanting a good Web Standards based foundation. A reasonable amount of support is included.

Contact us for custom designs.

These templates are designed for the ExpressionEngine CMS. We have set a small fee for future development costs and support. They are not a design, but a basis for one. So far I know of no design that cannot be done using these.
Included in the set are:

  • index
  • comments
  • comment_preview
  • site_css
  • archives
  • categories
  • RSS_2.0
  • atom
  • trackbacks
  • about
  • contact

And a readme file to make changes to the css for 3 column center content, three column content left, two column, and those in either fixed or fluid widths. The only changes needed for column changes are 4 places in the css. So it would be very easy to have a three column index page and two column inner pages, or a combination making different css files from the one. Contact us for more info.

These are complete EE sets, (expression engine), based on Web Standards. These templates are very basic, generic,  simple, and highly customizable. In them content always comes first, they are search engine optimized, valid XHTML and CSS, and very user friendly. Again, they are foundational much like the basement of a house something solid and trustworthy to build on and not representing a complete design.

BKDesign’s intention is to be a complete resource center for EE. This foundation principle for templates reduces future redesign costs as well, being able to edit the CSS alone for any design, much like CSS Zen garden.

One always wants to know if the templates are compatable across a range of browsers and operating systems, so we did the tests in all browsers at 800px and 1024 screen resolutions, and did 96 screenshots of these in:
MacOSX 10.3, 10.4, and PC.
Using:
WinXP, Win2000, Win Vista, and Linux operating systems. (Linux needed more margin in header).

Tested in:
Firefox 2.0, IE6, IE7, Safari2, Opera9.02, and Opera 8.5
