Using Custom HTML Design & Layout to design your shop
One of ekmPowershop’s strongest features is the fact that you have 100% control over the design and layout of your online shop. For example if you wanted your site to look more like the big ecommerce sites such as Amazon, Play.com, etc… You can. In fact ekmPowershop is one of the most flexible ecommerce solutions on the market today.
Your store can have advanced functionality such as Customer Reviews, ‘Email to a Friend’ and even a Mini Cart showing users what’s in their cart as they browse your store.
To see what can be achieved look at the Customers Shops section of our website.
To create your design you need to go into the Design & Layout section of your store and select [Change Template]. Once you have done this you can select from a collection of pre-made templates or select to use a Custom Template.
If you know HTML or are using a 3rd party design program you can use the plain text editor instead. For example if we wanted our shop to look something like
We would put the following HTML code in our Template...
This is only a very basic example but it shows you how easy it is (if you know HTML) to design your own layouts.
You will notice that where the 'View Cart' link is we have used [ekm:viewcart] instead of a traditional <A HREF=> style link. This is an [ekm:tag] and this allows you to insert into your own HTML design elements of your ekmpowershop store.
For example if you wanted to display the title of the current page you would put the tag [ekm:pagetitle].
The custom design and layout options mean you have unlimited control over your store and as long as you spend the time playing around with your designs you'll end up with a online shop that's as unique as yourself.
