Yes, scrap your html site and re create those pages within ZenCart

Take zen out of the iframe
go here:
http://(sorry, site offline)/
pick a template close to the style you want
edit it to suit your look
and away you go

Re: disable zen cart outside of the html environment

First off, you will have major issues running ZenCart in a frame as you have done
Frames will break many functional things

Search the tutorial link, above right, for specific elements such as header image and the like and build piece at a time

Check your private messages for an example

Re: disable zen cart outside of the html environment

Thanks for your response, however my desire is to maintain the other elements of the main site such as navigation etc.

you can still maintain all your elements, just build them within the zen framework.

Teaching someone how to redesign a template is well outside of the scope of a forum, but you will need to edit the header and footer file at the very least.

For more information please use the Tutorials/FAQs section (link at top of the page).
