The .Net Editions of PDshop are template based.  This means there is a central file(s) that contains the basic design elements (including HTML, CSS, Javascript and other design related code).  In PDshop .Net you can easily change the design, the look and feel, of all the shop pages by editing one file, the "template.htm" file located in your "shop" folder.  This file serves as the master HTML document for the entire shop, making it unnecessary to to edit any of the .aspx files (you only need to know HTML basics).

If you already have a design in mind, have an HTML template you purchased, or your web designer provided you with code, you can easily incorporate your template/design into PDshop.  By opening and editing the template.htm file and the sub template files, with your own HTML editor you can add, remove, or change any of the HTML, CSS styles, or other code.

For elements like buttons, section headings, and some backgrounds, you may want to also use PDAdmin's design tools (see "Buttons", "Headings", "Default Colors", "Page Layout", and "Page Content" in PDAdmin).

NOTE: For many designs it is not even necessary to modify the template, you may be able to use the design controls built into PDAdmin, to change colors, styles, etc, and you can even insert your own HTML code right into the different sections of the shop (see "Page Content").  Using PDshop's "Plain Text/Raw HTML" editor you can insert any code you want, pretty much anywhere.  

** We recommend customizing the shop pages using PDAdmin first, before modifying the template files.  By doing this, you should be able to achieve any design.
