chenkenkent Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Actually am quite confused with the membership thingy, where I found out that actually I have to key in the data of my customers. I thought the application supposed to be automatic? just like when the user/member posted something, it will appear right away? just like threadless.com where their members can modify their own account?

Katmatcreations Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 At a high level yes to all.the presta suite has everything from PDF creation through to Search Engine tools, its got everything basic and advanced you will need. Just a note that you are going to need CSS and HTML knowledge at a minimum to design a theme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
