Multifront uses ASP.NET Master Pages and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to implement templates for the storefront. This standards based template architecture enables developers familiar with ASP.NET to rapidly customize the storefront without having to learn a proprietary technology.
Highlights of the Multifront Templates
| • | The storefront themes (master pages, CSS and images) and related files are stored under WebApp\Themes\Default\ |
| • | The storefront includes one common master page located at WebApp\Themes\Default\Main.Master - This master page defines the common areas of the storefront including header, footer, navigation, etc |
| • | Each functional area has a secondary master page that inherits from Main.Master. This allows each functional area to control the display specific to that functionality. For example: The product pages have the following master page: WebApp\Themes\Default\Product\Product.Master |
| • | Each master page references user controls in the WebApp\Controls directory. |
| • | The storefront has a single style sheet that controls fonts, colors and other global styles. The style sheet is located at WebApp\Themes\Default\Css\Style.CSS |
