Re: How to convert PSD to an ZEN TEMPLATE
A couple of things you need to remember about putting a template together for Zen Cart. First -you are not designing a static page with some text or pictures in the middle. The pages are multiple "layers" and the display changes depending on where you are. So you want to start with the background. then on top of that are usually the navigation bars, logo and side bars(s). On top of that are the side boxes, center boxes and the other bits and pieces. So you have to think in 3 dimensions.
The best way to learn the system is download a couple of the free templates and have a look at the override structure and how the parts and pieces fit together.
Also have a look at the shops in the showcase - while there are a ton of "cookie cutter" sites there are also some very creative looks, so breaking the mold can be done.
Enjoy!
