How do I use a website template that I have downloaded on my site??

Question

I downloaded a web template from a website and its basically a load of pictures, they seem to be in jpg format. How do I apply this to my website??

I am making an ecommerce site, is it easy enough to add a cart and to upload products etc to website??

Thanks

Well, if you downloaded the template correctly, there should be some text files in there that have the extension .htm or .html. You would need to edit those files to put in your own text. You can use notpad if you know how to code but if you don't you'll have to get an HTML editor or web editing program to do this. Examples are Dreamweaver, GoLive, Nvu, KompoZer, etc...

Making a ecommerce site is much harder. A lot of people just use ecommerce software that their webhosting providers offer. That's usually complicated enough as you will need to put in your products, upload your images, deal with orders, get a payment gateway, maybe get an SSL certificate, etc...
