Dreamweaver Fluid Layout and Zen

[WWWD]

I have a fluid layout for the rest of my website and would like to make it standard across into Zen.
It is based on a page template and corresponding css.

Has anyone here done this type of conversion before or am I the lucky one to chance my arm first?

Dreamweaver is mainly for creating/editing html pages
Most here do not recommend using it to edit php files

If we could see the site we might be able to offer some advice.

I did it years ago here.

Its still good for v1.51.

A fluid layout does not in any way depend on recoding the PHP files; it can be done with the stylesheet alone. The solution above may be required for the "footer always at bottom of screen", but that is not relevant to matching a Dreamweaver-generated layout.

You cannot apply an external template file directly to Zen Cart; you need to translate its styling effects into the Zen Cart template structure.

What you have posted does not appear to be a Fluid Layout....
It looks to be of fixed width and a bit stodgy

It is a fluid layout (% of browser width), but a 20 years outdated style, usable perhaps as a schematic layout concept to be fleshed out and made appealing.

I would be interested in what you guys discover about fluid layouts using DW CS6. I am currently working on such a project (the site itself is built on the fluid layout) and was trying to figure out how to apply the fluid layout to Zen Cart

Best if you do not use dreamweaver for zencart

Just use your design as a guide to translate the design into a ZenCart template
