FAQs

You are cor­rect. Space has not been imme­di­ately been left for a bar­code to be inserted into the book tem­plate designs we did not leave this extra space because to the untrained eye, it may not make sense to have it. Also for our cus­tomers who what an eBook cover design it would may not be nec­es­sary. How­ever, the text area, book title and author name areas on the tem­plates are all mov­able and can be adjusted to leave space for a bar­code to be inserted when needed.

If you are using any ver­sion of CS I think that Adobe has adjusted their prod­ucts to over­come the draw­back that there used to be from open­ing files from dif­fer­ent ver­sions. How­ever, in the pre­vi­ous ver­sions of Pho­to­shop prior to CS, you may run into issues open­ing files between older and new releases. So in gen­eral, I’m pretty sure that any ver­sion of CS should be fine to open our templates.

How­ever, if you would like to test fur­ther, I sug­gest you down­load one of our FREE icons. They were made between and older and newer ver­sion of Pho­to­shop. If your cur­rent ver­sion can open one of these icons or images, your ver­sion of CS should work just fine. You can access them HERE.

We have found that some­times color can either help or hin­der the appear­ance of a logo, since dif­fer­ent peo­ple like dif­fer­ent col­ors for dif­fer­ent rea­sons. We specif­i­cally want you to see each logo in black and white, so that it can be judged purely on font style and design. If you like any of our logos in black in white, adding your favorite color to it would only help it become more appeal­ing to you. We also pro­vide the color ver­sion of the logo pre­sent­ing a visual of what it could look like. This gives an array of ideas and dif­fer­ent vari­a­tions, which can be for­mat­ted to the black and white ver­sion. Also, if you like what we have cre­ated for a nom­i­nal exact fee, you can obtain it as well.
The Logo Design Combo Pack is included in all the fonts needed for the file, in both the orig­i­nal black and white, and color ver­sions of the logo.
Absolutely! Every aspect of each tem­plate can be cus­tomized to fit your per­sonal needs. That’s one of the great things about Pho­to­shop. Every­thing can be changed. Review some of our Free Pho­to­shop Icons HERE.

Yes, you can. The files are lay­ered Pho­to­shop files. So, if you find an image or graphic that you pre­fer over the included images, you may adjust and replace them at will.

There are sev­eral online sites that we use to get images from. Visit our Resources Page to review them now.

Since we want each book cover tem­plate avail­able to be used as a book and an eBook cover, we included all sides in the book cover tem­plate. This will be needed just in case the author of an eBook decides later that he/she would like to turn his/her eBook into a reg­u­lar book. The author would already have all the files needed to do so, and will not need to make another pur­chase for the back cover and spine.
We apol­o­gize, but no. We sell the book cover tem­plates and eBook cover tem­plates as one design to make the process eas­ier in the long run.
You can: Build any (1) logo design, (1) graphic design for any book, mag­a­zine, or prod­uct cover, and (1) web site design using the tem­plate in any way you like. You can­not: –Resell or redis­trib­ute tem­plates (like we do). –Claim intel­lec­tual or exclu­sive own­er­ship to any of our prod­ucts, mod­i­fied or unmod­i­fied. All prod­ucts are the prop­erty of the con­tent provider com­pa­nies and indi­vid­u­als. If your cre­at­ing more than one project using the same tem­plate, you have to pur­chase the same tem­plate once more in order to cre­ate another project with that same design.  

Yes, we can cus­tomize any tem­plate that you want. Please visit our Cus­tomiza­tion Page for more details.

- NON-EXCLUSIVE PURCHASE: Non-exclusive pur­chase means other cus­tomers can buy the same tem­plate, that you have cho­sen, at a later date. - EXCLUSIVE PURCHASE: Exclu­sive pur­chase guar­an­tees that you are the last cus­tomer to buy the tem­plate. After an exclu­sive pur­chase occurs, the tem­plate is per­ma­nently removed from the sales direc­tory and is no longer made avail­able to other cus­tomers again. Only you and the cus­tomers who have pur­chased the tem­plate prior to you will own it and have exclu­sive rights to it.
Yes, because there is a very small chance that you will find the same design in print or online. Also, there are more than 3,000,000,000 web pages online now accord­ing to stats on Google. To see the cur­rent stats your­self, go to www.google.com and do a search for “How many web­sites are cur­rently on the web. The num­ber will shock you! :)
After you com­plete the pay­ment via our secure form, you will then receive an order con­fir­ma­tion with a link(s) to down­load the .zip file(s), or be redi­rected to an imme­di­ate down­load page, once your pay­ment is approved. The .zip file(s) will con­tain any of the fol­low­ing: PSD file(s), HTML file(s) and/or fonts depend­ing on which type of tem­plate you have purchased. To open the .zip file, you will need an unzip­ping tool to open the .zip archive. Win­dows users may visit HotScripts.com or WinZip.com. Mac users may visit StuffIt.com.
We use Fotolia.com for and istockphoto.com for our images. Here are a few oth­ers as well:  gettyimages.comeyewire.com, photos.com, and fotosearch.com.
Yes, you may. Once you have pur­chased it, you may adjust the fonts, color, and images as you like. You can find fonts online by going to www.freefonts.com, www.1001freefonts.com, www.pcfonts.com,  just to name a few.
The major advan­tage is “price”. You can get a high qual­ity design for less than $35 (non-exclusive). You will not have to hire a web/graphic designer or exter­nal web/graphic design studio. Second advan­tage is “time”. It usu­ally takes 5–15 days for a good designer to pro­duce a design work of such qual­ity. With our logo tem­plates, book and ebook cover tem­plates and web site design tem­plates you can have you design com­pleted as quickly as your Pho­to­shop skills will allow.

Adobe Pho­to­Shop is the world’s most pop­u­lar graph­ics edit­ing pack­age. You can find more info about Pho­to­Shop and down­load a free trial ver­sion. Visit Adobe web­site at www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/main.html.

Also, you may visit our “Resources Page”, we have also included a cou­ple of links to Adobe Pho­to­shop that we rec­om­mend as well.

Yes; our web­site tem­plates come with an HTML that is com­pat­i­ble with Adobe GoLive, Macro­me­dia Dreamweaver, Microsoft Front­Page, and any other edi­tor that can work with an HTML file.

We have cre­ated a few video tuto­ri­als for edit­ing our tem­plates. Please go to our “Video Tuto­ri­als” page to view them.

There are alos many web sites which offer HTML tuto­ri­als. A cou­ple of good tuto­r­ial sites that are avail­able online are, sitepoint.com and ahfb2000.com. We also sug­gest to search for “HTML tuto­ri­als” and “HTML help” on YouTube.

We rec­om­mend Adobe Dreamweaver. But there are many oth­ers. Do a search on Google to view the others.

Yes, of course. You can also visit our “Free Icons” page for a few free Pho­to­shop shapes and icons that we have included for free download.

Yes. It is per­fect for design­ers who want to offer their cus­tomers a high-quality design and also save time and money. We do ask that you only use one tem­plate per design and if you have another client to pur­chase another tem­plate for that cus­tomers design. Thanks!
No; the tem­plates do not have any marks or water­marks on them. There­fore, you can use them as your own designs, if you wish. How­ever, you may not resell the .zip that you pur­chase from us.
No, you should buy it only once. After pur­chas­ing it, you may use the tem­plate as many times as needed for (1) one web site design.
Please note that all files down­loaded are “.zip” files. This type of file com­presses all of the files into one smaller file to opti­mize file size. To open these type of files, an “unzip pro­gram” is required. This pro­gram will unzip the files so that you can access them. Please select one of the links below for web sites that allows you to down­load an unzip pro­gram. After you have down­loaded and installed the pro­gram, you will be able to unzip the file. Once you have installed the unzip pro­gram, you will need to open the file from within your newly installed Unzip/Zip pro­gram. Down­load­ing and installing a PKZip pro­gram, for exam­ple; once you run the program, select File > Open. You will then need to locate the tem­plate that you have pur­chased and down­loaded to your computer’s hard drive. Now, select the file and click “Open”. The pro­gram will then unzip the files to the same folder of the orig­i­nal .zip file, unless you select a new des­ti­na­tion. Here are a few options to find an unzip pro­gram. Copy and paste these urls into your inter­net browser address section: http://www.interpages.co.uk/pkzipage/ http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/pk-zip-freeware.html http://www.census.gov/population/www/pkzip.html Finally, we per­son­ally sug­gest “ZIP Reader 8.0.18″. ZIP Reader is a free Win­dows util­ity that allows users to open files that have been com­pressed using SecureZIP or PKZIP–or any other ZIP prod­uct. ZIP Reader decrypts Secure ZIP files cre­ated by any PKWARE prod­uct, regard­less of the hard­ware plat­form. That means, Win­dows users can access files encrypted and com­pressed on Win­dows, UNIX, Linux, iSeries, and zSeries sys­tems. It is sim­ple to use with a slick auto launch feature–just dou­ble click on a ZIP file or drag-and-drop the ZIP file to the ZIP Reader icon. The file unzips auto­mat­i­cally. Please copy and paste the fol­low­ing link into your browser for a FREE down­load from downloads.com. The link is: http://www.download.com/ZIP-Reader/3000-2250_4-10363714.html?tag=lst-0–1 If you decide not to use one of these pro­grams, you may do a search on Google (www.google.com) for a “share­ware” or “free­ware” unzip program.  
Your tem­plate comes with the fonts that were used to cre­ate it. These fonts may not be the same fonts that are pro­vided on your com­puter. You will need to install the included tem­plate fonts on your com­puter, if you do not want the font style to change.

To install the new font onto your Win­dows PC, do the fol­low­ing:
1. Open Win­dows Explorer by click­ing the right mouse but­ton while over the Win­dows “start” menu but­ton.
2. An option to “Explore” will show up from a new menu. Select it.
3. This will open up the “Win­dows Explorer” win­dow.
4. Select the “C” drive from the left side of the win­dow and you will see a list­ing of all of the fold­ers in the root direc­tory of your com­puter shown on the right side of the win­dow.
5. Find the folder which has all of the fonts from the tem­plate that you pur­chased and down­loaded to your computer’s hard drive.
6. Select the fonts folder; then select all the fonts that are in this folder. From the Win­dows Explorer menu at the top select Edit > Copy.
7. After you have copied the tem­plate fonts from your tem­plate folder, select the “C” drive again from the left side of the win­dow. You will see a list­ing of all of the fold­ers in the root direc­tory of your com­puter shown on the right side of the win­dow again.
8. Dou­ble click on the “Win­dows” folder on the right side of the win­dow.
9. In the new set of files that show up from the “Win­dows” folder, dou­ble click on the “Fonts” folder.
10. This folder will now dis­play all of the fonts that you have cur­rently installed on your com­puter.
11. From the Win­dows Explorer top menu, select Edit > Paste.
12. Win­dows should now paste into your Windows/Fonts folder, and the fonts that you pre­vi­ously copied from your tem­plate folder.
13. You may want to restart your com­puter from this point to make cer­tain that the new fonts are rec­og­nized by your com­puter. You will at least need to restart Pho­to­Shop.
14. You should now be able to see the same font change within Pho­to­Shop after you restart. Pho­to­Shop may also ask you to update lay­ers when you open your new tem­plate. Be cer­tain to select “update” and the new font should be rec­og­nized by Pho­to­Shop. If not, you may need to res­e­lect the font style from within Pho­to­Shop after you have restarted it from the “Char­ac­ter” tab.
15. Once one or all of these steps have been com­pleted, you should be able to change the word­ing of the font for your tem­plate while main­tain­ing the same font style.

The turn­around time mostly depends on the tem­plate that was cho­sen; however, for basic cus­tomiza­tion, we attempt to fol­low the fol­low­ing basic time frame:

— For Basic Cus­tomiza­tion of a “Logo Tem­plate”, turn­around time is usu­ally 3–5 busi­ness days.
— For Basic Cus­tomiza­tion of a “Prod­uct Tem­plate”, turn­around time is usu­ally 5–7 busi­ness days.
— For Basic Cus­tomiza­tion of a “Web Tem­plate”, turn­around time is usu­ally 10–15 busi­ness days.

These times are nor­mally adhered to; how­ever, the process can only begin when all aspects or ques­tions about the design are answered by the client, and we are not wait­ing on any files to be sent, or answers to ques­tions that we may need.
