Competitive Analysis and Technological Advantage
This package comes with the starter web site in .zip format.
Unzip the package and start editing the pages. You may wish to keep
a backup copy of the .zip in case you need to start over.
We serve cuisine food, steaks, shrimp, hamburgers and hotdogs. We
encourage dancing, water sports, Watching Sports TV, swimming, water
sliding, trampoline jumping, foosball contests Kayaks, and many more
activities not listed here.
We have the room for weddings, class reunions, birthday parties or
office parties on the water under cover and an entire deck or the boat can
be reserved for your event. These occasions can be for up to 150 persons per
deck.
Competitive Analysis
Our competitors have smaller vessels or are without the space for the
amenities and participation in water sports that we have.
These benefits do come with a trade-off, however. Because the
FrontPage "design view" is not as sophisticated at displaying
CSS properly, the heading fonts will seem very large, and the
content areas may "wrap" underneath other content areas. This
can be frustrating if you are used to getting a good "preview"
of what your site looks like, but you'll find that it is almost
just as easy to keep previewing your site in a browser as you
make changes. You will still be able to edit your text and add
content as you normally would; after you save, go to File >
Preview in Browser to view your site in a browser and make sure
that it really looks as it should.
Also, occasionally FrontPage's Normal/Design view may "lose" the
formatting. When this happens, just hit "F5" to refresh the view and
the styles will return.
By offering you CSS-based layout instead of tables-based
layout, we are helping to ensure that your web site is compliant
with current web standards.
Technological Advantage
The Fiesta Cruiser was designed for the high seas with six watertight
compartments. She was built in New York and her maiden voyage was the trip
from New York through the Panama canal to Honolulu Hawaii.
The electronic safety equipment safety equipped on board includes a 32
mile radar, 2 global positioning systems with chart plotter, 2 depth
sounders, 3 communications radios. One of these radios has the capability to
transmit around the world. We also have a satellite global positioning
transmitter and flair gun.
Our flotation devices include a life boat, 4 life floats supporting 22
persons each and 400 life vests.
Our mechanical equipment is all Caterpillar the best in the industry.
For propulsion there are two 750 hp diesels capable of 17 knots. We also
have the reliability of two 65 kw. generators.
We adhere to the highest standards of safety and service for your safety
and enjoyment.
The SWFObject script also resolves the IE update issue where
embedded Flash movies require an extra click for interaction; using
the script will allow viewers to interact with the Flash movie
directly. The SWFObject script also allows your web site to have
fully validated HTML.
Please be aware that the script may be updated occasionally, and
it is your responsibility to visit the SWFObject site to check for
updates and implement them.

Template Details
Can I change the colors?
You can easily change the font colors by editing
the stylesheet, but some of the layout effects are created with
graphics, such as the column backgrounds. You will need to be
comfortable with using Photoshop to edit the provided Photoshop
files and export to web graphic format to replace the existing
graphics.
Include Pages
The header, menus, and footer are "include pages."
Editing the include pages will update the other pages across your web
site. Open them, make your changes, and save.
The include pages will look like they have no formatting
applied. This is okay! Simply make your changes, then preview the
other website pages in a browser.
Top menu
The top menu is in the header1.htm include page.
Side Menu
The menu is made up of bulleted links that the stylesheet then formats. To add
more links to the side menus, open the include page,
main_nav1.htm, add more links to
the list, and save.
Footer
The footer area can be modified by editing the footer1.htm file.
Flash Image Rotator
The Flash Image Rotator can be modified by editing the
settings.xml file. There is a ReadMe file that goes over the precise
details. All images will need to reside in the "images" folder. You
will see how to edit and add images at the bottom of the XML file.
Cascading Style Sheets
This template is a table-less layout. Positioning and layout is
defined through CSS. You will need to be comfortable with advanced
CSS positioning and formatting techniques if you want to make
changes to the layout of this site. If you just want to add your
content, you will need some basic CSS skills and HTML skills.
