WEBSITE TEMPLATES

    These templates were created to offer clubs a variety of editable website designs to assist in the development of new 4-H websites.   Please contact the California 4-H Computer Corps with any questions.

    The templates include sections for general club information, meeting dates, event information, projects offered, and contacts further information.   If you wish to use one of these templates, save the file to your hard drive.  These files are editable in Wordpad for Windows and multiple other programs.  Replace all comments (<!-- -->) in the document with your own text.
