I currently manage and maintain a large online ordering site using Actinic 6. We have until now largely used Actinic's templated pages to make the site contents. However after a couple of years of making do with Actinics out-of-the box solution areas such as search engine optimistation, page layout flexibility, and custom elements are becoming more and more necesary in order to keep our heads up with the competition that has sprung up since we started out in 2003.
My plan is to strip the product list pages down to their absolute minimum (i.e. no menus, headers, footers etc., just a list of items with add-to-basket buttons) and use PHP to totally recode the site from the ground upwards to be more customisable and friendly for me to work on.
I wanted to know if anyone here had any useful information about getting actinic to d othe bare minimum. as far as sales frontend goes, allowing me to make a custom site with self-created content that still interfaces with actinic's 'basket' and 'checkout'.
I am perfectly happy to keep using it to maintain individual product listings and the e-commerce side of things (payments, order processing etc) as it does it well enough for us.
