The basic structure of all ViArt Shop pages are as follows:
In order to change the design of your online store you need to edit the corresponding layout templates. Since ViArt Shop designs are built on CSS files, you can customize all nine templates by editing a single file.
Please, follow the instructions below:
- Go to the "/templates/user" folder of your ViArt Shop installation.
Note: If you want to change the look and feel of your administration section, you should proceed to the "/templates/admin" folder.
- Find an appropriate file.
Usually each ViArt Shop page has its own template that is stored in a .html file. E.g.
"index.php" has template "index.html". In order to customize your site you need
to edit the corresponding .html file.
- Make appropriate changes.
The above method allows you to change the look and feel of your store on the whole, in order to change individual details you can use the functionality of the ViArt CMS.
