Free Spry Widget Design Templates

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

The Cōdify Design Studio team has created a series of widget designs that you can download and customize for your own web projects. The assets include modified HTML and CSS files that are specifically developed to work with the presliced Photoshop files.

For quick and easy customization, simply update the PSD files in either Photoshop or Fireworks, and export the slices to the CodifyAssets folder. If you’re a more advanced user, feel free to modify the slice structure, HTML, and CSS files to achieve any design configuration your project requires.

Download 7 free Spry widget templates, complete with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and pre-sliced Photoshop files.

Although it is fast and easy to add widgets in Dreamweaver using the Insert panel, some design techniques require some customization of the HTML and CSS files. In the following video, we walk you through the assets provided at the MAX 2009 conference session, as well as a brief description of the specific HTML and CSS elements that were modified in each Spry widget of the Adobe MAX theme.

Free Dreamweaver Beginner Templates

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Adobe is providing free Dreamweaver beginner templates designed and developed by Cōdify Design Studio.

The following templates were designed and developed by Cōdify Design Studio to give web designers a jump on new web layout techniques. In addition to design and layout, each design contains a dynamic element developed using CSS, HTML and JavaScript, commonly referred to as Ajax. Adobe has its own framework for developing Ajax-based sites, commonly known as Spry, and Adobe Dreamweaver supports a visual way to work with Spry and Spry widgets. The download files also include source Photoshop files with slices, which can be edited with either Photoshop or Fireworks, and the design elements are already set up to work with the layout and Spry widgets. Preview and download the templates you want, and watch a short video to learn how you can customize these templates for your own needs.
