If you’re looking for some free templates to use with FrontPage, you can find them right here at LunarPages. The Templates Express package, which is installed in Fantastico, will create template pages that you can use in FrontPage.
In brief, here are the steps to use the free templates in FrontPage.
1) Uninstall the FrontPage extensions if they were previously installed.
2) Clean out the public_html folder.
3) Install the template pages using Templates Express.
4) Reinstall the FrontPage extensions.
5) Publish the template pages down to a folder on your computer.
Now for the details. The wording on the prompts are for FrontPage 2003 and they may be slightly different in previous versions.
1) If you have previously installed the FrontPage extensions, in cPanel click the FrontPage icon and uninstall the extensions. Then click the button to Clean up old extensions.
2) Using the cPanel File Manager or another FTP program, clean out any remaining files and folders inside the public_html folder. You can leave the cgi-bin folder but be sure to delete the images folder.
3) In cPanel, click the Fantastico icon then find and click Templates Express. Click New Installation, find and select the template you want, then click to install. Fill in the information then click to install. Note that if you ever want to change to a different template, you’ll need to uninstall Templates Express and start over. After the installation is finished, return to cPanel by clicking the Home link at the top of the window.
Note: to make it easier to choose a template, the screenshots of the templates are in three PDFs that you can download and print out.
