For the last few years I've been getting more and more into website developing, I'm comfortable with WYSIWYG developers like DreamWeaver, FrontPage, etc. as well as some basic XHTML knowledge, but when I was recently hired by a company that wants me to take their already working eCommerce website, and give it a new look/feel, I find myself overwhelmed with finding a product/solution that will fit their expanding eCommerce needs, and unique pricing system.

The last developer they had did a good job with ZenCart, but I don't even have a clue where to pick up where he left off.

I know that "advertisements" are discouraged, so I won't drop a link to the current site, but if anyone out there would like to give me some tips to help point me in the right direction, it would be massivly helpful. Thanks.

Zen Cart has a template system that seperates all the store logic and display code. Check the includes/templates directory. You should be able to identify which template folder is in use.

You will need HTML/CSS knowledge and probably some PHP experience to work with the template. I don't think DreamWeaver or any WYSIWYG can handle Zen Cart's template system since it is broken up into many many files and contains lots of PHP.

Okay, I'll see what I can do with ZenCart for now, I will prolly end up moving to something that will give me a little more control over the site dynamics.
