    That sounds right... or you could use ez-pages and do it, well, easier...

    Default Re: Building a custom site

    Actually, EZ Pages confuses me more. I've tried creating my "ingredients" page that way, and it never showed up in my site... not sure what I did wrong. I named it "ingredients" and entered some HTML content and published it, but it doesn't show up when I go to http://www.kaylala.com/index.php?main_page=ingredients
    Instead it defaults to my main page content.

    That's because you don't use or get a main_page name for each ez-page. You use main_page=page&id=## (whatever page id it is). You choose where the links to the ez-pages are displayed.
    See the EZ-Pages section of the tutorials.

    both them templates shown there would be easy enough to make. the second t shirt store i like alot and is very simple.

    basically you turn everything off, all the side colums and boxes, then add all the priducts, then can just hard code html and text into the main_page to display the pic and text to link to the product page.

    only problem with it is if you have 100 products the main page is going to be massive, and if your customer whats to add new products tehn you are going to have to make some custom php (maybe copied from the list display) to automatically produce the image, description and link so that you client wont have to hard code it in them selves or come back to you every week.
