Introduction to Contented3
Contented3 is the third open source template from Contented Designs. The one-column design, omitting any sidebars for news or extra navigation, should be suitable for businesses who want a small and relatively static website.
This design includes style tags for aligning images near the top of a section or near the top of a paragraph, floated to either the left or right side. The image to the right has a section alignment. The image below and to the left has a paragraph alignment. Both images are free stock photos from Stock.XCHNG.
Adding one or two well chosen images to a web page can break up an otherwise unbroken expanse of text and can enhance the mood. Ideally, the images should be more than just eye candy. They should help convey your website's message. You're defeating your purpose if the images distract from your content.
Choosing which images to use and where to place them can be difficult. Even if the images match your content, colors can clash, the best placement may not be obvious, or the selected images may not work well together. If you're going to tackle this task yourself, I recommend you browse the large professionally done websites of other companies in your industry to see how they dealt with these issues.
