site design + timescales

[AndrewS]

I've not used the Actinic software before but have used similar template managed web based CMS.

I have three days to get a site up and running. Its going to sell three products with no options - click and deliver.

Does anyone think i have enough time? Can the design (link above) be worked into Actinic Developer?

Feedback greatly appreciated.

Hi Andrew

Looking at the design for http://www.toppa.tv/allnew/buy_online.html, it can be done in developer. Although you will need to understand the actinic templates.

First thing is that you will need to change the overall design to be similar to that website.

The file that needs to change is Act_Primary.html. This is what Actinic brings in as the overall design.

The question you may need to ask ourselves, is can you learn Actinic templates in 3 days?

For help i would suggest in the following:
Designing With Actinic Developer (v6) (http://www.actinicdownloads.com/docs/user_guides/DesigningWithActinicDeveloper.pdf)
Actinic v6 Advanced User Guide (http://www.actinicdownloads.com/docs/user_guides/advancedguide_6.pdf)

The main issue, is that to create a custom design in actinic you need to learn the way actinic uses templates. The first url will explain this, but it may takes some time for you to get a grip of. If you used a similar template management CMS program, then maybe you will be ok - time wise

Kind Regards
