I'm a newbie to Zen Cart and not sure of the best way to accomplish the look that I want.

A good example of what I'd like to accomplish can be found here: johnfaulkner.co.uk

It's a clean, simple look. I'm not sure if I'd have to modify core files. I'm hoping that no core files will have to be touched since that will make upgrades difficult.

What are the best methods for accomplishing this?

1. Create a new template (which I started)
2. ?
