Mainly, How to customized my Layout made in Dreamweaver which is exceptionally design with more design and border. I am able to prepare my Header, Left navigation, Right navigation & bottom navigation. How to enter Border for per products to seperate it with each other. Now about .CSS how to upload css file whcih I prepared in dreamweaver in MC store. If CSS uploading is not possible then how to customized or prepare CSS online in MC. Can we customized the center postion of the all pages were we place the Products.

Reply Soon . I have developing the design for MC and it Urgent to known all detail of MC. I have try the guest login of MC and gather little bit knowledge of the store.

Please guide me in right path.

Your best option is to copy the css styles that you have developed for your design into a file that is already existing in your root called custom.css. This file will always override anything that is set up in style.css (which is the monstersmile.gif default css file).

So from file manager, download custom.css....edit it as needed....and then upload it.

Don't put anything in styles.css as that file can be overwritten by monstersmile.gif during updates.


As far as the center of your pages....you can only make changes using css. But there is probably lots that you can do using css to that area.


You can also use an html page for your home page instead of the default asp page. This lets you have full control of your home page. If you upload index.html into the root, it will become your default home page instead of index.asp. But you won't be able to use call functions on the html page so it becomes a static page. You would have to update the navigation and content yourself instead of dynamically.

Hello Jameswatt,

Currently the MonsterCommerce Demo store will not let you overwrite files on the site as this is for demo purposes only. Note though that if you upload a file called custom.css, this will be included and that any of the content you add will be utilized then. Secondly, you can also always place the css content inside HTML >> Top of Page HTML editor, and this will then be used as well.
