Finally managed to get a working shop up and running,BUT - Im using the 'Latte' theme/template and Im not entirely happy with the look.
If you select something from "Products" (Categories) the displayed page shows the Category twice - in Cart Designer Pro its called 'Category1' and 'Categories in Category1'
Just looks a little odd and I cant work out how to loose it.

Anyways, here it is:

Nice looking shop Colin,

I believe your issue is that you have your categories set up wrong. It appears that you have subcategories under your main one. Here i how you should have it set up in your shop.

What you want to do is move the products up to the main level and delete the subcategory.

As a wokround Ive changed the font colour and reduced all the padding in SCDP, still leaves an ugly gap between th emenu and the category banner

Sorry for the delay.
Here you go - screen grab of the product list - NO sub categories

To me I think you should turn your breadcrumbs on and leave you category title there looks much nicer. Here is an example: http://misterwebguy.com/KarmaCrete/viewcategory.php?groupid=0

To find Breadcrumbs open up your SCCDP and go here:

Then take the check mark out of hide breadcrumbs.

I have played around for a while and with out some custom coding that you would have to reapply after every export it is going to be difficult to get rid of that gap. That's why leaving the breadcrumbs options turned on there will fill the space and give your customers one more way to move around within your shop.

Cheers Steve, the breadcrumbs tidies it up, I'll live with it for now as I like the overall feel.

Glad you liked it. You can still adjust the padding and margin of that area in SCDP and reduce the space a bit more.
