Store in Spotlight

March 16th, 2010
The Wrappery

The Wrappery

This week the Zen Cart store in the spotlight is a store with a mission.  The Wrappery has a mission to inspire you to make your gift, product or event memorable with their range of unique range of wrapping supplies.

The Wrappery online store is a great example of how keeping the layout simple and the selection of colours easy on the eyes can create a sense of calm and set the scene for an easy shopping experience.  It’s also the little details that make this design – like the layering of design elements, the use of textures and using design elements that reflect the products (like the ribbon detail) – and really show off their love of beautiful wrapping.

To quote The Wrappery, “Afterall, love is in the details.”

See more of this store, and other Zen Cart stores, in the Zen Cart Gallery.

  
     

Zen Cart Toolkit

Customising Zen Cart may seem a little daunting at first. But, as with all jobs, it is so much easier if you have the right tools.

Zen Cart Explored

Email messages are an important component of an online store for communication with your customers.  Zen Cart can be configured to notify customers of their order status, for example, or notify the store owner of a new order or that a particular product is running low on stock.

Zen Cart provides the option to select plain text or HTML email messages.  The HTML email messages utilise the set of 15 email templates.  The default email messages are explored further in Zen Cart Email Templates.
