Create a Template Folder

Before you start working on your new template, you'll need to
create a template folder where all your template files will be
stored.

To create a template folder:
‣ Copy the demo template package
‣ Rename the package to “myTemplate.iSaleTemplate“, where

“myTemplate“ is your template's name

Step 2: Create Images

The visual backbone of your new template consists of three im-
ages: header, footer and border (aka scale). In this step, you'll learn
how to create and store these images as well as a thumbnail for
iSale's template chooser.

The Header

The header will appear at the top of each new auction based on
your template.

To create a header file:
‣ Create an image in your preferred image editing application

(width: 730 pixel)

‣ Save the file as JPEG head.jpg in your template folder
