Site Store Professional can be integrated into a website design using any WYSIWYG HTML Editor or even using a text-editor such as Notepad.
Note: Although not required, we recommend using Dreamweaver to integrate Site Store Pro into your website design. Site Store Pro can be applied to any website design in a fraction of the time with Dreamweaver as opposed to editing the files individually with another HTML editor.
The design layout (look and feel) of the online store is controlled by modifying the html of specific .asp pages as well as editing the .css files that format those pages.
The majority of the files that can be edited to change the design of the online store are located in the following four (4) installation folders:
/store
/myaccount
/checkout
/css
The remaining editable design files are located in the root directory of website.
The rest of the files and folders in the Site Store Pro Installation should NOT BE EDITED and are for shopping cart operation only.
The following elements (content) are always required and should not be removed when modifying the editable (design-related) files listed in the next section:
DO NOT REMOVE….
1. Any code located above the <html> page tag. This is the dynamic ASP code that accesses the information in the Site Store Pro database.
2. CSS files attached (linked) to the page between the <head> …</head> tags. You can add additional CSS files to the page(s) but do not remove the existing CSS declarations.
3. The content located in the main body of the page between <!—Main Content Start--> …
<!--Main Content End--> . The code located between those two HTML comments tags is the primary display region for the dynamic, database-driven content.
4. Any code located below the </hmtl> tag on the bottom of the page. This code closes out connections to the database and releases code variable declarations.
Removal of any of these 4 sections (elements) may break the functionality of the specific page.
For detailed information on which files can be edited to apply your website design to the Site Store Pro ecommerce files, view the Editable Design Files Section.
