Working with Expression Web & the ZenCart

Hi:

I'm new here and trying to figure all this out...a webmaster I am not! I've downloaded the Zen Cart and found the Cherry Zen template by SageFisher (it looks great)

This new site is going to be a sister site to the one I already have. It' for machine embroidery designs all instand downloadables so I won't have to do anything with shipping and taxes. For my other site I create pages in Expression Web. What I'd like to know is...can I work with the Cherry Zen template in Expression Web and customize it with my own header and things before I publish it to my site?

I can't figure out how to get the template into Expression Web or if it's possible. I guess what I'm trying to do is create a default template for all my pages. Really hope that I'm making sense to somebody.

If anybody can point me in the right direction, I would be one happy camper.:clap:

Thanks,

Expression Web - Front Page samo samo---

A html site builder - While zencart is php and already does the page assembly for all your pages from the template pieces

Thanks...I think that I know what you're talking about, but I'm in trouble because I dont' have a clue where to begin. Back to the drawing board for me!:frusty:

Re: Working with Expression Web & the ZenCart

Exactly what are you needing to do? Have you installed Zen Cart on your hosting server yet?

Re: Working with Expression Web & the ZenCart

Hi Kim:

No...I haven't installed the Zen Cart to my hosting server yet. Apparently tomorrow they are going to add my second domain. I'm assuming that I have to wait for them to do that before I can install the Zen Cart.

What I wanted to do was put the Zen Template into my Expression Web and start working on building my site there. I guess I mean to customize the template with my own header, background colours and such.

I'm really green with all this stuff and winging most of it.

Re: Working with Expression Web & the ZenCart

The tutorials/FAQ's link in the top nav bar on this page is a source for most of what you need

I entered "header" into the seach term and many come up - like this one
