The post above was about moving ahomepage from WordPress.  In such a case, you could copy the HTML from theWordPress HTML editor directly into the ProductCart HTML editor.  That youcan do without any coding knowledge.  The themes in our showcase are allcreated by professional designers.  To make something look that nice fromscratch, without any design or HTML experience, would be a tall order. However, you can go to pretty much any theme store online and get a"bootstrap compatible" theme (just Google for "bootstrapthemes").  It's very easy to split the theme into the two ProdcutCartcompatible theme files.  The top of the purchasedHTML document goes into “header.asp” and the bottom into “footer.asp”, and wehave some articles that cover this in more detail.  You only need basicHTML and CSS knowledge to do this, but you can hire a web developer for a fewhours to get it done.  I'm planning to do a video on this topic sometimesoon to show how quickly it can be done, but we're also going to be releasingsome fresh themes this year.  Make sure you are subscribed to our Twitterfeed and/ or newsletter so you get notified when we release the new themes.

You mention the ecommerse-showcase page and these sites look great but I've been using ProductCart for 12 years now and to say making the sites look like the ones you showcase can be done without a lot of coding experience is quite the stretch.

I know enough to be dangerous and I can't even get my drop down menu to look like I want it to.

You're standard themes all look pretty much exactly alike but with a different color theme.

You state in your documentation that 3rd party themes can be installed but nowhere can I find where themes themes can be found. 

I absolutely love ProductCart and the features it provides but easy theme integration and customizing isn't there yet for those who don't understand coding.

Product Cart has robust home page options that allows you todo quite a bit without any complicated integration or coding knowledge. Youget a text editor for content that allows you to use different fonts andstyles, change colors to fit your theme, bulleted and numbered lists, and quitea few other options. You can manage how many featured products you put on yourhome page and show off other areas like best sellers and specials. There arealso options for building a slide show on your homepage. Stores using ProductCart have made some truly remarkable homepages using these options and themes.Take a look at http://www.productcart.com/ecommerce-showcase.aspfor some great examples of what you can do with Product Cart.

From a technical perspective it may be difficult. ProductCart and WordPress were not written in the same language. If you wanted to showoff products dynamically you will end up writing quite a bit of code to get thename, image, description and link to the product. You may also have to makesome modifications to Product Cart to make sure links go back to the homepage.

There are a lot of sites that use WordPress as a blogging platformand Product Cart as a store but WordPress usually takes the role of handlingblog posts, news articles, and periodic columns. Product Cart usually takescare of everything related to the shop, static pages (like return policies and contactforms) and the homepage.

Was there a particular feature you are looking for inWordPress that made you think about doing an integration like this?

Could someone please advise what technical or compatibility issues there would be (if any) with integrating a homepage designed in WordPress with a ProductCart site? I'd like to know if it's possible, and if it is, what is the benefit of doing so? Thanks in advance for any guidance!]]> Thu, 17 Mar 2016 16:43:40 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/wordpress-homepage_topic6071_post22640.html#22640
