Good X Cart Designers Can Make Your Web Store Eye-Catching
A Fantastic One Will Make It Sizzle
These days web store visitors are not content with just great prices, wide selection, and fast service. They expect a great shopping experience as well. And such experience usually begins with a well thought out site layout and navigation, and ends with finishing touches of a professional graphic design.
The challenge
When a web designer is given a clean slate to design a web site, they can let their imagine rein and come up with all sorts of advanced looks. Not so when dynamic content needs to be injected into the page (like products, categories, and descriptions). The web designer then needs to take into consideration things like template, expected color scheme, fonts, CSS layout, JavaScript (dynamic) browser behavior and other web-specific issues. Add to that the store's existing branding (logo, tag line, theme) and the level of complexity can rise real fast.
X-Cart and its templating engine is something that needs to be learnt. The "regular" graphic designer/web designer can miss on these and other X-Cart special features and may design a look that cannot be practically integrated with X-Cart. That is why you need to look for
The experienced X-Cart designer
Ideally your designer will have the following skills
- Strong graphic design background, proven through a portfolio of sites they designed
- Excellent understanding how X-Cart works and how information is presented
- Good knowledge of PHP and Smarty templates (the technologies X-Cart uses)
- Language and communication skills to explain to the store owner what can (and more importantly - what cannot) be done
Admittedly, finding all these skills in one person is possible but rare. The more practical alternative is to use a pair of professionals: a great graphic designer, and an experienced X-Cart programmer. Working hand-in-hand with the store team each brings to the table the skills and the requirements to make the new X-Cart design both attractive and functional.
