Yes! Q-Shop uses themes or skins to completely modify the look of the site by using CSS files (cascading style sheets).

A theme is basically a couple of CSS files (Cascading Style Sheets) and a set of images. All files for a theme are located on a folder that defines the name of the theme. By simply changing the theme setting through the web Control Panel the whole site's look will be immediately changed!

By using CSS files you can change the look of the whole site by just modifying one single file. Q-Shop themes are an extremely powerful tool to customize your site with the minimum effort.

You can also enable your customers to choose the theme they want to use for the duration for the session by enabling this in the Control Panel:

Also, because the CSS files are external they will be cached in the user's browser reducing the overall download time and therefore improving the user experience.

Another advantage is that your pages will have a simpler and smaller HTML making it ideal for search engines since the portion of content as opposed to mark-up will increase.

Q-Shop includes several free themes but you can also create your own. If you want to share it, please let us know and we'll make it available to everyone. Or if you are a designer and want to sell your themes, please contact us.

For examples of the themes included for FREE, check the themes page.
