Right then, As a long standing reader (but not real contributor as most peoples questions that i know answers to are solved before I get the chance to get my email away!) I am looking for some assistance with a re-design that I have to get started on.
The website that I look after (www.classicouk.com) currently has a fairly standard actinic site bolted on to our own catalog pages. Now I am having to spin this shopping cart side off on its own as we are adding loads of new products from other companies which can't be allied with our classico brand.
Now the problem that I have is that i need to improve the layout of the Actinic pages and make them look more like the Classico pages as it will be standalone. For example, a page such as http://www.classicouk.com/acatalog/O..._630.htmlneeds to look more like this http://www.classicouk.com/lotr4x6.htm but with buy now buttons etc next to the relvant images and the obvious pricing info etc.
I have versions of actinic from v3 through v6 but have never really got into the template editing. I use DW for the main site and wish that Actinic could deliver a more designer friendly route to page layout (i don't want to open up a html editing v dtp style layout option here!) but obviously it can't.
Now to get to my point!! does anyone on these forums have a site which is like what I want and can point me in the right direction before i go off and spend months trying to work this out. I know its cheeky but my boss is asking for the impossible with deadlines on this and I could do with any help thats out there!!
Thank you all in advance and a very merry christmas to you all!!
