When integrating Site Store Professional with an existing website or modifying the included sample store to create a new website you will be editing HTML or Dreamweaver template files on your local system and then uploading the changed files to your online webserver to preview and test. 

You will need to copy the files from either the Trial_Version_New_Installation folder (trial users) or the Full_Installation folder (paid users) to a directory on your local computer where you can edit files with Dreamweaver or another HTML editor.

If you will be upgrading a current website with Site Store Pro, you may copy the Site Store Pro installation files into the existing website design folder on your computer.  However, please take caution not to overwrite any files with the same name that are already located in your current website design folder.  (Examples: default.asp, about.asp, contact.asp…)

If you will be using your current home page, about us page, contact us page, etc. you DO NOT have to copy the following “root” files to your EXISTING website folder on your local system:

/default.asp
/about.asp 
/testimonials.asp 
/terms.asp 
/privacy.asp
/customer_service.asp 
/contact.asp

NOTE: If you are installing Site Store Pro on a live website during the design integration/products configuration timeframe, we recommend copying the Site Store Pro files into a SUBDIRECTORY off the root of the live website such as /teststore/ instead of the site root to avoid file conflicts when integrating your design into the sample store.  This will also allow you to preview and test your integration without affecting your current website.

After completing the design integration and content additions, you can then simply copy the files from the subdirectory to the root directory when you are ready to replace the existing website with the new Site Store Pro enabled store (website).
