I'm looking to make a reusable template for an internet flyer that has specific spots to upload images to. I'm a beginner and I'm not even sure how to descibe what I'm trying to do affectivly. 

 

I have a business that will have new releases every week and instead of designing a new flyer every week I want to create a good looking template and be able to interchage the products on the flyer.

 

If this is already been discussed could someone link me?

 

Thank you for your time if youre reading this.

This is a question for your web developer.  I use PHP scripts to automatically populate web pages with new content.  Ideally, your site should be dynamically driven with content stored in an online database.   That way, you can query your database for the last X # of products by date or any other criteria and include not just images but SKUs, prices, descriptions, etc...

 

This is an example of a photo gallery populated from a folder of images on the server.  Although not as flexible as having a database, it's still way more efficient than doing it manually.

Thank you! I'm doing this for an email advertisment and it does not need to be HTML. All I'm looking to do is have a basic image that I can attach different smaller images to every week and push out via email to a list of customers. 

 

Sorry if I should be asking this questin elsewhere but I do appreciate your help.

Sorry but if you think you can send images directly to your e-mail list and everyone will see them, you're wrong.  It doesn't work that way.  Attached files will be blocked for security reasons or worse, your e-mail will be flagged as a spam/virus risk.   You need an HTML e-mail template, not a PSD template.

 

I wrote this article a while back but it's mostly relevant today because e-mail marketing hasn't changed much.

Good luck!
