X-Cart Mods, XCart Addons, X-Cart Templates CSS SEO Free UK xcartmods.co.uk

We're pleased to announce that the Smart Template is now W3C compliant. Please note new DEMO link. Thank you to all the people who requested it. And of course, everyone who purchased previously is entitled to a free update.

A major revamp of this website is coming soon, so please stay tuned for that. Best wishes, Phil.

This is a unique template system that has many features that can benefit the X-Cart developer and X-Cart rookie alike.

• W3C Compliant NEW
• Six possible layouts controllable from the backend (see below)
• Two types of header/speedbar layouts per theme
• Layout and theme CSS separated from main.css
• No tables added, well commented CSS
• Separate header and footer
• Smart columns that adapt to the browser/screen width (also eliminates tables - better for SEO)
• CSS-only rounded corners on menu and dialog boxes
• Cufon for H1, H2 and H3 elements built-in
• Neat 'My Account' dropdown panel
• Tabbed product info
• Enhanced speedbar and reviews postings
• SEO enhanced layouts - content displayed before side columns
• Cross-browser compatible (IE6-8 / Firefox / Opera / Chrome / Safari-PC)
• Includes the much needed simple password recovery mod
• PNG layout source files included, sliced for Adobe Fireworks
• Two colour themes, easy to customise/add more, or ask us to make you one!
• Free updates and themes as and when available
• Based upon the 3 column 'Light and Lucid' theme as a starting point
• No additional cost for X-Cart Pro users!

This is probably the only ecommerce template that employs smart columns.

Requirements

1. Fresh installation of X-Cart v4.3.1 Gold or Pro
2. 3 column 'light and lucid' template installed
3. No additional modules installed
4. Basic-Intermediate CSS knowledge

The template itself is very self-contained within it's own 'custom' skin folder. Unlike other templates, only the necessary files are replaced or updated, ie. not the whole /skin1 directory. This should allow for easy future upgrades. Please be aware that v4.3.1 is an early version in the branch and bugs may exist in the X-Cart software that are not our responsibility.
