What is a skin?
A skin is comprised of one or two "templates" with a cascading style sheet to control
the look and feel of your storefront. These templates determine a framework around
the site's main content area where categories, products, the cart, and other information
will be displayed. Common template elements are logos, headers, horizontal and vertical
navigation, footers, search, and an optional "home" or "splash" page that is your
store's landing page.
The Starter Skin Package
Site elements included in the Starter Skin:
- Header: The header generally includes your store logo, and account relevant links.
- Horizontal Navigation: The horizontal navigation includes your categories and subcategories.
- 2nd level Menu with Search Bar: This may include your site's search function, your
store telephone/contact information, and any other store specific information.
- Vertical Navigation: The available vertical navigation styles (Simple Vertical and
Expandable Tree). Either of these styles can be implemented with
the Starter Skin Package.
- Footer: This includes store links not placed elsewhere on the site. Examples: FAQ,

Home Page
Your home page is very important and deserves special attention. We're happy to
design and skin the home page template to your specifications, but because of the
variety of design and feature options, we need to understand your vision before
providing a cost estimate. Please contact us to schedule
a consultation.

Receipts & Order Confirmations
We can design and skin the receipts and order confirmations sent by the store to
your customers to be consistent with the rest of the site design.
MiniCart
Customize the look and feel of the default mini-cart to match the rest of your site.
New Navigational Structure
We can assess your current site's structure, i.e. main categories, subcategories,
etc. and make recommendations on a structure that might work better for your customers.
Not necessarily part of a skin, but certainly worth considering as you create your
new site. These prices will vary depending on the number of pages in your site.
