Soccer Blue Mobile Friendly Template
The Soccer Blue Mobile Friendly Template is is based on one of the newest templates offered on our sister site - Expression Web Mobile Friendly Site Templates. This template uses some CSS3 for the drop shadows. This template uses a liquid width with a maximum width of 1500px. You may remove this if you choose. The layout and is mobile friendly and passes Google's mobile-friendly test.
The download is available as a personal web package which includes a dynamic web template and all supporting files for a small site for use with Expression Web.
Images:
The header graphic image used with this template is inserted directly into the html code with the class scalable applied. This will allow your image to scale to fit all device displays. You can substitute your own image for the masthead but you will need to make sure the image is wide enough to fill the space. A blank image is included for you to add your site name if you wish to use it.
Class style rules are included to float your images right or left or center them on the page as well as scaling them so they display in all devices.
The equal height column look is achieved by using a background image. If you wish to change the colors of the columns, you will need to create a new image. The border for the rightsidebar is part of the image.
Menus
The top menu on this template makes use of the Responsive Flat Menu from CSS MenuMaker. You will need to work in Code View to edit the menu or use an include for the menu. The last menu item is not a working link. It is simply to show you how the drop-down works.
If you need one, you can add a sectional navigation menu on the right sidebar.
Search Box
The Google Custom search box will need to be adjusted with the code for YOUR custom search. You can, of course, use any search engine you choose. The styling for the search areas is part of the external style sheet.
CSS and Script Links
Besides the main style sheet (site.css), there is a special style sheet (media-queries) which allows the inclusion of special CSS rules to optimize your page for mobile browsers.

Gotcha's
You will need to preview your page within a browser as Design View will NOT display the page as it should look.
