migrating existing design to zen cart

hey guys,

i decided to go with zen cart for an online shop i make for a friend and i know how to configure it for my needs so far. i already started to write a css-based website design which looks nice. now i would like to migrate zen cart to this design. it shouldn't be too hard as it's div-based, right?

is there a howto for this?
could someone give me a clue what's important? any tips/tricks?

thanks in advance :smile:

Probably the most important thing, aside from reading the Zen Cart tutorials and FAQs on templates, is to install Firefox and its Web Developer and Firebug extensions.

These will let you find the elements of ZC pages to style to match your CSS design, and experiment with styling live to test things.

sorry, my post was a bit unclear. i understand how the overriding system works and i read most of the tutorials.

thanks for the firefox tip!
