Changing the look of my website

Forgive me if this seems a stupid question, but i really dont know the answer.

What files do i have to edit to change how my website looks? At the moment its the basic zen cart look, but i want to change it and don't know how. I have been 'googling' it for a while but it just deosnt say anywhere what files to change to make it look different.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

There are tons of things you can do to change the look/function of your site. This can be accomplished by stylesheet changes, configuration changes, template changes, add-on modules.... I would suggest that you start with the tutorials, wiki, and the book that's available. Here's a link to the tutorials https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php

There are free templates available for Zen Cart which can help you get the look you want. You can see them in action at http://(sorry, site offline)/

A very large percentage of this is in your graphic images and through the stylesheet.css file

Re: Changing the look of my website

Is there a decent way of searching the tutorials area? I haven't really been able to find any real useful in-depth information. Even the creating a custom template tutorial is pretty underwhelming in terms of helping you get started with a compatible template.
