Actinic Templates

'Off-the-shelf' Actinic Templates

A range of Actinic template designs for use with Actinic V11 (templates available for earlier versions on request).

Matrix23 Actinic Template Features

Design

  • Overall look and feel, colours, fonts etc all controlled by style sheet and background graphics. This means the design and layout of the site can easily be changed without having to send snapshots back and forth between you and your web developer.
  • Choose between several colour schemes – any colour scheme or design can be integrated with the template for an additional fee.

Header

  • Insert your own logo.
  • Logo automatically links back to home page.

Navigation

  • Choose between horizontal and vertical category menus.
  • Links to home page and contact page already in place.
  • Custom links – easily enter links to pages of your choice within Actinic (number of links depends on layout used).
  • Each custom link can be turned on / off.

Left Sidebar (optional depending on layout used)

  • Automatically created in Actinic – if you add or delete a section or rename it this will instantly change in the menu.

Right Sidebar (optional depending on layout used)

  • Choose whether to display a right sidebar on the home page and brochure pages.
  • Right sidebar can be turned on/off on the home page and any brochure page (i.e. you can have the right sidebar displayed on one brochure page but not another).
  • Right sidebar contains 9 customisable links – you can insert your own images & text and select which pages they link to.
  • Choose how many of the boxes you want to display on the home page and any brochure page (e.g. you can display 9 boxes on the home page, 4 on one brochure page and 6 on another – or none at all if you prefer). If you want to display less than 9 boxes on any page you can choose which ones to display.
  • Choose  to diaply a list of new products or best sellers instead of the graphics and text links.

Footer

  • Customise Footer Heading Left and Footer Heading Right by entering your own headings.
  • 8 custom links.
  • Each custom link can be turned on / off.
  • Telephone number, email address and social media links can all be turned on / off.
  • Copyright year is controlled in Actinic – you can enter your own value so you can have
    © 2005 – 2011 for example or simply © 2011. Company name is automatically picked up from Actinic Business Settings.

Home Page Slideshow / Fader

  • Image slideshow / fader on the home page with 5 customisable slides.
  • Each slide can link to a page of your choice. You can change the slides, change which page they link to and change the titles (title doubles as ALT tag which is good for visually impaired users).
  • Choose to display either a static image or the slideshow.
  • Choose how many slides to display in the slideshow (maximum of 5).

Home Page Section Links

  • Display up to 9 graphic and text links to featured sections
  • Choose whether to display 0,3,6 or 9 section links
  • Choose graphic & text links or graphics only

Home Page Featured Products

  • Display products on the home page using Actinic’s New Products and Best Sellers lists.
  • New products and best sellers are controlled within Actinic and can easily be turned on / off.
  • Choose whether to fix specific products in place or allow Actinic to auto generate these lists.
  • Easily change the heading of either the New Products or Best Sellers list to, for example, Featured Products.

Home Page Text

  • Easily add text to your home page using an Actinic fragment (already created).

Bespoke Actinic Templates

Want something a bit less 'off-the-shelf' and a bit more bespoke, but don't want to spend a fortune? Rather than building every Actinic template from scratch we can use our off-the-shelf template as the starting point and customise the design to your specification. This means we can keep the cost down for you. These sites were built using our template as the basis with some bespoke design elements.

If you prefer something completely different we can do that too.

For projects that require a little bit more in the way of design flair I join forces with fellow web developer Andrew Thompson from UPPERCASE Media. Andrew creates the designs and I integrate them into a fully functional Actinic template. Some of the Actinic designs we have created can be viewed below:

Pricing & Further Information

The price of our off-the-shelf Actinic template is £250. If you would like to use the template on multiple sites we request that you purchase a multi-site license for £350. If you would like a different colour combination to the ones on our demo site we can do that for £25 - £75 extra (per site), depending on requirements.
