if you look at www.urbanfashiontakeover.com you should notice the category "fashion" and there are 2 t-shirts that are in "containers" (although on the site for now it's just one JPG image but that will change) and then on the right under "features" there are 2 more things that I would like Zencart to handle. How can I make zencart only handle those areas that I described and have the rest of the home page be static (the banner that says coming soon is going to be a rotating banner using PHP code that should not be the one that Zencart uses)

Am I making sense?

By the way, my statement about using dreamweaver ext. wasn't really conflicting, the "good" dreamweaver ext. that I am using were free, therefor I didn't have to buy them but I was looking into a program called Kart MX and another called Cartweaver but I would have to pay for both of them and I hear tons and tons and tons of good stuff about zencart.

the sites you showed me (well some of them) just look plain and like the background color and table border was changed only. I want to use all graphics for my backgrounds and images for headers and footers.
