What is a DWT page.
upon first opening a DWT page ..
Have a purpose, and view the video's first. DWT's should not be experimented with in your working site ... make your changes and test with your sandbox website first.
A DWT may not look like a completed web page .. the design view does not always provide an accurate 'view' of what the final product will look like. DWT pages are typically 'coded' pages, changes made to a DWT will typically be done in 'code' view.
1. it's the first page created. A dynamic web template is the master page, from which all other pages are created. A dynamic web template is created by myself, or one of my design team. We create 3 different versions. The 'intro' a 'primary' and a 'secondary' DWT pages .. these pages are stored in the ( Templates ) folder of your website.
2. all of the pre-designed web pages in your template are created from 'DWT' pages.

2a. fortunately, there's an easy way to identify the 'master DWT' .. at the top of each template page, in code view, you'll see which DWT page your web page is attached to.
3. template pages that are created from a DWT page are called "child pages"
4. DWT pages provide the HTML, CSS and Javascript coding that in turn provide the look, feel and layout for your template pages, they also provide the "editable regions".
5. Editable regions are area's of the template pages that you can add your content such as text or images.
6. The child pages retain a link their DWT page
7. Any changes made to the DWT page, will be applied to their child pages ... for example, if a top menu bar (LM Infinate Menu Component) was removed from a DWT page, this change would be applied to all of the 'children' pages as the the 'top menu' is not inside an editable region of the child pages. Any changes you make to a DWT will be reflected in the child pages. However any content inside an 'editable' region of the child pages will not be affected by changes to the master DWT page.
8. an editable region can be removed from a DWT page. Removing an editable region from the DWT page will remove that editable region and content from all child pages. This is useful if you want to remove content from all pages.
9. new users can apply a DWT to a blank web page, or a blank page with basic content (text and images)
10. the page will be converted to a 'template page' while keeping the 'content' of the original web page in tact .. and if done correctly, the content will be auto formatted by the DWT page.
10. experienced users can apply a DWT page to an existing web page ... providing the existing page is prepared, or in an existing DWT format.
