<strong>StoreFront</strong> <strong>5.0</strong><br />
This also includes all pages which have been created with the <strong>StoreFront</strong> <strong>5.0</strong> Product Page<br />
Template (see page 147).<br />
Every theme is divided into eight separate groups or elements, each of which is used at a<br />
different section on each page. Some pages may use one element but not another, while other<br />
pages will use all elements. Important: Any page that uses any part of an element will make<br />
use of every other part of that element. For example, a page that uses the General Settings<br />
Banner Image will also use the General Settings Background Image, the General Settings<br />
Font Size, Color, and Style, etc. Each <strong>StoreFront</strong> Theme Element (General Settings, etc) will<br />
only affect a certain area of the page.<br />

CREATING STOREFRONT THEMES STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE<br />
Creating a theme can be an involved and lengthy process. We suggest experimenting freely<br />
with the themes in a test web before trying to design one for a production site. The following<br />
step-by-step guide is meant as a loose procedural outline to aid you in the process. For a<br />
more in-depth understanding of the themes, we suggest reading <strong>StoreFront</strong> Theme Elements<br />
Defined, page 103.<br />
1. Gather and create your images and upload them to the web. A complete theme can<br />
use more than 50 different images, so we suggest that you organize them carefully in<br />
a folder apart from the rest of your images.<br />
2. Connect to your database with the Store Builder. If you are uncertain of how to do<br />
this, please refer to Connecting to a Remote or Local Database, page 21, for further<br />
instructions.<br />
3. Open the Web Manager. Click on the <strong>StoreFront</strong> Design tab.<br />
4. Under the Themes section, click New to begin the Theme Design Wizard.<br />
