Okay, as I added, probably as you were typing that reply, is I need help building the custom page.

Here's a way to make a page that looks like your shop. Go to your shops home page and look at the source code by right clicking and select view source code. Now copy everything in between the <body> </body> tags. Now paste this to a new page in the HTML editor. Use the new from quick start if you wish.
Now in that page in the html editor paste the code below just below <title></title> tags.
Adjust the mysite.com to your domain and the /shop if you changed the name of your shop to something from the default.
Now you can delete the div's that you don't need from the html to make the page look the way you want and add the code for your site map. You'll also need to change the links from relative to absolute for now depending on where you publish your custom page. It will take some time but the end result should look awesome.
Now in that page in the html editor paste the code below just below <title></title> tags.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://mysite.com/shop/css/default.css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://mysite.com/shop/css/styler.css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://mysite.com/shop/css/styler.css" media="screen">

Thanks so much Rolly.
I'd already pasted all the body parts you mentioned into the HTML editor, but I didn't have the additional codes you have placed here, so I will try that tomorrow. It's probably why it looked as though only half of the site was appearing (none of the nav bar images etc, but the links) in my preview screen. I got some of it, but not all.
I will keep trying this option out until I get it I think. Worth it in the end. I may pester you though, so be warned.
Thank you!

Update: Rolly, those instructions worked perfectly, and Home page in full is in the html editor.
This is where I'm at:
I have deleted out all of the page content without breaking anything (miracle), but can't remove the spotlight image. I had to re associate the logo image.
Your instructions of "change the links from relative to absolute" I'm taking to mean I change:
<a href="About_Us.php"> to <a href="www.mysite.com/About_Us.php"> ? I did change my About Us and it worked, but I can't change the Home Page link.
Code I found relating to it is:
<a class="scs_navmenu_currentpage_item" href="index.php"> so maybe I need to delete out the currentpage, and replace with something else?
Here is more code, but I've taken a bit of my personal site details out and replaced with MY TITLE.
id="scs_home_page"><div id="scs_header_area_wrapper"><div id="scs_header_area_inner_wrapper"><div id="scs_header_area"><div id="scs_header_wrapper"><div id="scs_header_inner_wrapper"><div id="scs_header"><img id="scs_shoplogo" src="ccdata/images/Logo.png" alt="MY TITLE" /><h1 id="scs_header_title">MY TITLE</h1><div class="scs_cleardiv"><span class="scs_sdkworkaround"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="scs_central_area_wrapper"><div id="scs_central_area_inner_wrapper"><div id="scs_central_area"><div id="scs_navbar_wrapper"><div id="scs_navbar_inner_wrapper"><div id="scs_navbar"><div id="scs_navmenu_wrapper"><div id="scs_navmenu_inner_wrapper"><div class="scs_layout_menu_horizontal"><ul id="scs_navmenu"><li class="scs_shophome_item"><div class="scs_navmenu_item_inner_wrapper"><div class="scs_navmenu_item_with_submenu"><a class="scs_navmenu_currentpage_item" href="index.php"><span class="scs_navmenu_item_icon_wrapper"><span class="scs_navmenu_item_content_wrapper">

About Us

When I preview & try search, it's opening up my local disk folder, so I don't know if this is a html editor thing, or the search won't work on this page. Would appreciate your thoughts there.
Thanks again for all your help.

The index.php would be your shops home page. So absolute would be

Thanks Rolly. I haven't uploaded to a shop directory, and taken the URL of my home page, which works for the footer. It is more that the code has additional code in it, such as 'current page' that threw me.
But I've started again, and this time taking the source code from another page - About Us - so I have fixed the spotlight image problem. Does it matter if I use the code from the about page? It's all looking good, but I still have the search error. Seems the search may not work?
I'm just going through the links fixing them now, and wonder whether when I get to the About page link (as that is the source code I'm now using) whether I'll run into the same "current page" code. I'll see when I find it.

The about page will be fine. I'll take a look at the search issue.

Thanks Rolly. Just found the About code for the nav bar link, changed it & it's working.
So spotlight issue gone, lack of linking to home from nav bar gone, just leaves Search. Even if I can take the search out, I wouldn't mind, but I don't think that'll be an option - with my limited knowledge. I think it's probably hard coded into my stylesheet code you put up a few posts now??
Excellent help, so thanks again.

Look for this bit of code.
Change it to absolute and test to see if that takes care of it.
<form action="/shop/index.php" method="post">

You are a genius Rolly. That worked! Wow, this page is looking good now, you were right.
So.... once I've finished linking everything, where exactly would I publish this to? I just publish my shop to public_html. I have no other folders on the server, as I'm not a confident muck around with server files type.
Then I'll need to know how to publish the sitemap - still publish both the html & xml files? Or view source of preview for the html and put in the code you gave back in the start of this thread?
Thank you - I can see me adding quite a few new pages with the html editor. Great work!
