Visual Site Designer has its own sets of templates. You can't import other templates, not easily anyway.

If you like a challenge, it might be possible to pick the template you want apart, and then insert it bit by bit into VSD.

The term "STORE" tends to suggest shop, which SCCP would be better for

However as an example look at my delorean site in signature the 40 or so home pages (descriptive/informative) were made with VSD

the shop part was made with SCCP and SCDP

? what are you selling, it might help us assist you

Hey Viv, you 'are' aware that a Home page is only 1 page in your site right? All other pages are well... other pages lol. The Home page is usually the landing page that a visitor comes to which is usually the one that is your index.html or index.php etc. page. So you really don't have 40 home pages :P Just an FYI :)

It need not no matter.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hiya Clem,

As they already mentioned, you cannot import themes or websites that are not specifically for Visual Site Designer into the program. If you are planning to use a different theme than a CoffeeCup one you will need to create it from scratch in the program using the information from the theme to do so.

:) :( :) :( :) home from Norfolk now :lol:

I think SCCP might be a better option than VSD as it has a shopping cart, and is designed to sell products

VSD is good for descriptive pages, I have a page to describe each category of products i sell in my SCCP shop
