Shop Aesthetics

This section contains many field that will affect how your cart looks. We have designed the shopping cart to be customizable so your shop has a unique look and feel, so there are many different sections here that you can use, or if you choose, you can leave blank. So here it is, section by section.

The first field is called 'Title'. This will appear at the top left of your shop pages only if you have left the 'Shop Logo' field blank in the 'Shop Details' section explained above. If you do not have a shop logo entered, the entry at the left would look like the image to the right.

The second field is to set a 'Background' image or a 'Background' color. The default is '#FFFFF', which is white. If you have a background image, you would enter the absolute url for that image in the box to the right of 'Background' (it would look like http://www.abctoyshop.com/background.jpg) or you could Click on the red text to the right of the box to choose a color from the color palette.

The image to the left is called background.jpg. If I set it as my background image it would create the page that looks like what is displayed to the right.

The next field is 'Background Color' for the secure pages where your customers will enter their credit card information. Since this is a secure page, your background image cannot be displayed there because it is not secure (http: address vs. https: address). In this example, I set the background color to #666666 (grey) (see picture to the left) and the result is the checkout screen displayed at the right.

The next nine sections have to do with text color, text size, font type, and cell divider colors. It is IMPORTANT TO NOTE that most of this information is overwritten by entering custom header information. SO, if you plan on using the custom header and footer information, most of this information may be skipped.

To the right of the color fields are links that state Click here to select link color'. When you Click on them, a color pallet will 'pop-up' as shown to the right. Simply Click on the color you wish to use and it will enter that info the appropriate field for you. Or, if you know the color code you wish to use, simply type that into the field directly.

On the left we have entered color choices for all the fields listed. The image of the results are to the right. The background (#66FF00) is a nice lime-green. Font Color (#660099) is purple. The font family is a San-Serif font that is the default. Font size is 12 pt, which is a typical size. The unvisited link color (#FF0000) is a nice, bright red; an unvisited link is seen on the right 'Sports Equipment'. This is simply a link that has not been clicked on. The Visited Link Color (#0000CC) is royal blue; this is seen with the category 'Dolls'; this is simply a link that has been clicked on. The Active Link Color (#330000) is a dark, nearly-black, blue; this is rather insignificant since it only appears when the link is actually being clicked on. The Cell Divider Color (#330000) is the same, dark, nearly-black, blue color and is seen on the right as a thick bar directly above the Category links. The Form Header Color (#993300) is actually seen on the bottom picture on the right and is a nice tomato color. This does not appear on the item pages, but rather on the checkout and following pages. It is important to note if you choose a color for the Form Header Color similar to the Font Color that the type in the Form Header Field will not show up and your customers may be confused. Finally, the Form Title Color (#339900) is the secondary row on the forms. Again, it is important that this color is not closely matched to your font color.

The field below the Form Title Color (image to the left) is called 'Page Title'. This information will be shown at the top left of the shop pages below the Title or Shop Logo. In the example to the right, we do not have a logo and you see the Shop Title and Page Title information displayed.
