WEBSALE V8s templates are “blueprints” that let you give your shop not only an appealing design but also its functions and content. This gives you full control at all times over the look, the presentation of your products, and all information in your shop. Creating WEBSALE V8s templates is very easy, because WEBSALE does not rely on so-called themes and skins or on PHP files. All templates of the shop consist of HTML and CSS elements, which you can easily download using a simple SFTP client and edit in an editor of your choice. The functions of the online shop are integrated directly into the templates using WEBSALE tags. For more information, see Fundamentals of tags. All texts used in your online shop (except for product and category texts) are stored as text variables in the text maintenance platform. This means that content and texts can be swapped out without editing the templates. This allows the same templates to be used for different languages. For more information, see Fundamentals of texts and languages of a shop. When provisioning a WEBSALE V8s shop, WEBSALE AG already delivers pre-built templates in a complete sample shop that you can adapt to your needs.
