Starting Point for Site Integration

[cleverusername]

When I look at sites featured in Miva Small Business' Galleria I see a bunch of sites that look great and Miva is transparent. What steps do I take to get to that point? I want to do more than just create my own navigation bar. I want my store to look good and fit in with the rest of my site. I use Dreamweaver. Any hints are greatly appreciated. Thank You, Dan.

Invest in a few third party modules, customize your headers and footers with your own html and navigation, use stylesheets.

Dan,

It takes planning. You want to sit down and come up with a list of features and an overall design for your project. Determine what tools will be needed to implement the features and design into your project. (these tools may include HTML, JavaScript, Custom Graphics, Cascading Style Sheets, Modules, Custom Page Templates etc.) Make a list and start implementing each item one at a time.
