Divided website / need advice

[Virtuel]

Hi,
 

I plan to make a new website and need advice regarding the layout.

This website will be divided in 2 parts:

-First part, a simple e-commerce
-Second part (add in future) a "restaurant page" with no payment system but just presentation, photo, menu, access, etc.

I want a blank homepage with only logo and 2 button: the shop / the restaurant

Is there such template already available or other option?

Regards,
Virtuel

Hi,

 

There are two solutions for this:

 

1. I would suggest you putting presta to prestashop directory and restaurant template to another directory.

Both with the same template. In the menu user would switch between prestashop and restaurant page within the same layout.

However this would require some work as you must adjust the theme for shop and your restaurant.

 

2. Put all restaurant content into PrestaShop CMS page. Easier to implement, but this may be complicated if you plan to add there some fancy features like user access.

Like electriz I would just use PrestaShop and then for the non-eCommerce pages I'd use CMS pages.

I find the CMS limitations ridiculously limiting so I just make standard webpages and embed them in CMS pages. I'm not certain if this is best practices but it allows for pages within PrestaShop that have all the same options of normal websites including javascript and anything else you want.

Thank you for your help

I don't have much knowledge on webdesign and just found out about CMS.

I want the restaurant page simple so a CMS page should be fine.

I just don't really understand if it will be integrate in prestashop or if it will be an other "website" and how to link them.

CMS pages are part of PrestaShop so there is no need integrate or link them.

The problem with CMS is that it is really limited so hard to make an attractive page. 

My solution was to still use the CMS page system but my CMS page is just a few lines that embed a standard website uploaded to the same server inside of the CMS page.

Thank you for your advice. I will work on it.
