What is a Skin?

Without skin, we would all probably look the same show bare bones and rather boring. "Skin" is the term used to describe the visual appearance and layout of your shopping cart pages. A cs-cart skin can provide for main menu variations, supply different styles of containers like side boxes and center columns, provide for different layouts, change the look and feel of the entire shop, etc.  Its all up to you and the designer who creates the cs-cart skin.

After installing a copy of the CS-Cart shopping cart system, you are able to change the look and feel of your shopping cart.

The most important aspect of a cs-cart skin is that it only changes the look and minor functions of your shopping cart. All content, products and other important information is kept intact and never touched or removed by installing a new cs-cart skin.

A cs-cart skin can also be referred to as a web site template. A web template is a tool used to separate content from presentation in web design, and for mass-production of web documents. It is a basic component of a web template system. Web templates can be used to set up any type of web site. In its simplest sense, a web template operates similarly to a form letter for use in setting up a web site.

The best thing about stock cs-cart skins and cs-cart templates is that you don't have to hire a web designer or web design studio and it cuts down the time frame of development to just a few minutes of installing. Bottom line, save money and save time.
