Zen Cart Free Templates

The installation of  Zen Cart comes with the default template ‘Classic’.  Luckily, one of the great features of Zen Cart is the ability to create new templates, utilising the override system.

This template override system means you change your store’s look and functionality as required, for example on a seasonal basis or to promote a clearance sale or special product launch, by allowing you to install multiple templates for your store and easily switch between them.

The Simply Kerrin Zen Cart Template is designed for a ‘clean and simple’ online store and is also suited to stores with a limited number of products. The shadow effect has been developed to allow the background color to change as required. The only requirement is to retain the inside background as white.

Other design points include:

  • Shopping cart contents (total and number of items) has been added to the header
  • The NavCatTabs section has been moved from the header to the footer
  • Payment types accepted (including images) are included in the footer (remove as required)
  • Relocation of the caution, warning and error alert messages and new icons included
  • The [more] section of sidebox headings has been removed
  • Restyling of the CSS

Note:  PNG files with transparency have been used in this template.  This is not supported in Internet Explorer prior to Internet Explorer 7.
