My CSS is out of control!

Posted in: Ecommerce, Websites, WordPress by koolkat on March 1, 2012 | No Comments

I have been working on an e-commerce site using the SHOPP plugin. Along with that, I am using jQuery UI to create tabs. Shopp and jQuery UI come with CSS files. And the layout from the site designer is fairly complex. Even the pages with tabs may have different fonts and different numbers of tabs. The result of all this is a lot of CSS with too much specificity and lacking in efficiency. What to do?

Well, for one, I am trying out SASS. I am hoping this will allow me to better organize my files, get rid of redundancies and improve the overall efficiency. Since this is my first foray into SASS, I will need to re-assess once the project is complete.

GoDaddy Quick Shopping Cart

I have just completed a new website for Simply Great Jerky which which sells seasoning mix to make homemade jerky. Since the site will sell just eight products, an easy to use cart such as the quick shopping cart seemed the way to go. I  was a little nervous with this approach having worked on other cart templates that seem stuck in table layout mode but was pleasantly surprised by the XHTML/CSS code. While I could not change everything I would have liked since you can’t implement javascript on the cart side, I was able to integrate the shopping cart with the rest of the website so that it truly looks like one design.
