    Using FrontPage and ZenCart.

    I apologize if this has already been covered but I am totally lost.

    I have created a website using FrontPage, but I have no shopping cart installed on it. I am not sure how shopping carts work. Do I have to integrate the shopping cart into the FrontPage website I have created, or do I have to upload the website to the Shopping Cart?

    Are the two compatible? What do I have to do? If someone could steer me in the right direction to find out how to use my website and integrate it with ZenCart, I would be greatful.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you want to keep the same theme then you will have to add your look into zen cart using the template files and the css files

    ......... and you'd be well advised not to run any PHP programme on a website with FrontPage extensions installed. It can be done - but it's not advisable.

    Don't walk, but RUN away from FrontPage.

    A good industry standard is Macromedia DreamWeaver. Learn how to use it, and well worth the time.

    Soon you'll be writing your own code. Start with small steps. Step 1. Get away from FrontPage!

    To answer your question...
    Spend more time to make sure that zencart is the right cart for you... there are many many ways to catalogue and sell products on the web.

    So long as your webhost supports the requirements to run Zencart, all you have to do is open your site in Frontpage, make a folder for the cart then simply drag and drop the cart files into it. Carry on the Zencart setup as per the normal instructions.

    You can link to the cart from your existing pages, but there is no other real integration unless you make it so.

    The benefit of using Frontpage is that you can manage and work on the zencart files much faster and easier than when using ftp or similar. The benefit of being able to work on your existing site at the same time is also there of course. Dreamweaver offers similar functionality. Notepad does not.
