Hi HoganP
The first item you mention is not possible yet. That is a good idea for a new feature request though.
The second you can do if you put all your content in the long description. The only thing you need to put in is the product name, and then everything else can go in that area. So, you would probably want a clear image for your product image and your default buy button, and then put all the HTML in the long description to make it look just as you like. Then you can use remote cart scripting (see article
here) to make the buy button appear in the long description.
Probably a fair amount of work, but it will make it look exactly as you want!
Also, for either item, you could get custom programming done. It would certainly take the work out of #2, and make #1 possible. If you'd like this, please call 877.663.5169 and ask for John. He's the one to call to get programming done to tailor your site to your needs.
Thanks!
