Introduction
The idea behind the Elated PageKits is that you can either
use the ideas here as is, and develop them from our startpoints,
or you can take the bits that you need and customise them for your own use. We hope you'll also find
the PageKits educational. Obviously, to make the best use
of them you'll need to know some basic HTML.
You should be able to edit the PageKits in a wide range of web editors like Dreamweaver and FrontPage, though all will behave in different ways. An image editor will also be useful (e.g. Adobe Photoshop)
About This PageKit
This PageKit is inspired by ELATED's webmaster Matt's visit to Peru this spring.
The illustrative designs are meant to be evocative and slightly rough around the edges. They started life with a much smoother feel, which in the end I dropped in favour of this rough, but more honest look. I confess the landscape is actually the british south coast, rather than the scrub of Peruvian planes.
The 'Kit was made on an Apple G4 machine running Photoshop
7 and skedit (http://www.skti.org/).
Hints & Tips
The font size and face, together with colours and some positioning is controlled by a stylesheet linked
to from the pages (style.css). If you want to change all this open up style.css in a text editor (eg Notepad)
and edit the code to be whatever you want for colours, links
etc, being careful to preserve the syntax. Note that there's
different sizes of links depending on whether they're menus
or normal body text links.

Usage Agreement
By downloading any of the material from our site, http://www.elated.com/,
you agree to abide by the conditions of the Usage Agreement,

Specifically:
"The PageKits are free to use on any type of site, provided
you do not redistribute them in any form on the Web or on
a CD-ROM (whether for free or for profit). They are free for
"end-users" only. What this means in English is
that if you're a business wanting to use a PageKit for your
own bar/bookshop/restaurant etc, then that's fine, even if
you're taking money over the site. What's not fine is if you're
a web designer using a PageKit to produce a website for a
client, whether you're getting paid for it or not. You may
also not take Kits (or any of the free stuff) and put them
up on your site for download or examples. The above legalese
element is legally binding and failing to comply means you
are infringing international copyright law."
