<strong>StoreFront</strong> <strong>5.0</strong><br />

Once you have set your business rules and built an inventory , it is time to apply design<br />

elements to your site and to build the pages that will allow customers to purchase your<br />

products online. The <strong>StoreFront</strong> Themes feature will allow you to format all the <strong>StoreFront</strong> ASP<br />

pages in your site without actually having to modify their code. Even if you’re a web developer<br />

with little or no experience working with ASP, the Themes will let you give your entire site a<br />

smooth, consistent, and very professional appearance. This chapter covers the configuration<br />

tasks you must perform to use the <strong>StoreFront</strong> themes, beginning in Using the <strong>StoreFront</strong><br />

Themes Feature, page 101. <strong>StoreFront</strong> also gives you extensive control over the design and<br />

layout of the <strong>StoreFront</strong> Search Engines. Instructions on configuring the design of the search<br />

engines begin in the next section, Search Engine and Advanced Search Engine Design.<br />

Search Engine and Advanced Search Engine<br />

Design<br />

The inventory of your web is organized by default using Categories, Manufacturers, and<br />

Vendors. This provides you with a practical means of organizing your inventory while allowing<br />

customers to perform detailed product searches based on these criteria. You may find it<br />

preferable to change these labels to something more suitable to your business. For example,<br />

if you were designing a web to sell books online, you might prefer to change Category to<br />

Genre, Manufacturer to Author, and Vendor to Publisher. These changes can be made<br />

using the <strong>StoreFront</strong> Design menu of the Web Manager. Please read the following sections,<br />

Modifying the Search Engine/Output Labels and Setting Advanced Search Engine Options, for<br />

more information on how to alter the design of the <strong>StoreFront</strong> Search Engines. More information<br />

about the search engines themselves can be found on page 11, under How a <strong>StoreFront</strong><br />

Web Store Works: The Search Engines.<br />

MODIFYING THE SEARCH ENGINE/OUTPUT LABELS<br />

You can change the display labels used by <strong>StoreFront</strong> on dynamically generated product<br />

pages and pages produced by the <strong>StoreFront</strong> Search Engine. The changes you make to the<br />

labels displayed here will be reflected in three places:<br />

• On the search.asp page<br />

• On the advancedsearch.asp page.<br />

• On the search results pages generated by search.asp and advancedsearch.asp<br />

• On the pages generated by detail.asp.<br />
