Migrating from Frontpage to Zencart

I am looking for a bit of advice.

I have a pretty big website that I designed a long time ago using MS Frontpage and Storefront add-in for the e-commerce part. At this point, the software is long outdated, and I am thinking about moving to a new platform.

I have made a couple small sites with Zencart, so I am a little familiar with Zencart, but not much.

On my big site, I have lots and lots of static html pages that give the users information. Eventually, they can drill down to Storefront ASP pages that let them order. I probably have 95% html informational pages and 5% ASP ordering pages.

Frontpage does a decent job of letting me see the heirarchy of pages on the site, move pages around on the tree, and edit WSYWIG.

I love the shopping cart features of Zencart, but can't figure out how to make a large hierarchical site with lots of html pages. I am open to changing the way my site works somewhat. A big problem with Zencart that I can't figure out is that it seems to be basically designed just for shopping. The informational, educational aspect doesn't seeem there.

Your thoughts?

EZ Pages (use chapters for the pages if needed too!)

Information can be found in the Tutorials/FAQ tab.

Re: Migrating from Frontpage to Zencart

I'll will re-read the EZPages description, but it doesn't seem obvious (or EZ!) at first glance.

Were the Zencart tutorials created with Zencart. I am sort of looking for something that looks like the tutorials with an eventual option to order something.

Is there a way to see such a Zencart site as a overall hierarchical tree?
