As far as I’m concerned, that’s what shopify’s all about. You have total freedom in your css & xhtml, except on the search results page, where you nevertheless have a good measure of leeway that should allow you to format your page almost like the rest, and on the checkout page, where you have none, for the time being. I made my own templates based on what I had; it’s very easy and lots of fun! Go for it!

Ah, you can’t customize the search page? I see the form go to /search, but dont see that template anywhere. So whatever hooks are available on that page are what I can use. I just create styles for everything inside #search-results and link that sheet inside theme.liquid

Im getting excited about this template stuff! I’ve never worked with it, but Im glad Im sharp on my xhtml/css… whoohoo

I’ve just done exactly that with my site, http://www.thepasty.com

It’s actually pretty straight-forward to do.

I was also able to customize the search page quite a bit using css (expecially in non-IE browsers) I’ll probably recreate what I’ve done (adding content with css) in IE using javascipt when I’ve got some time.

I’ve done some updates to the search page to make it a bit more friendly to style.

I moved the Stylesheets to an CSS include file instead of an inline style block which was hard to override.

I also finally made the images clickable.

This might be a useful code for Clickable Images . See how it works with my Casio Digital Camera image in the Top Reviews.

Another example of the code is here .

This would be great with Blogs/Product Reviews. Having Clickable Images throughout the website really makes it more user-friendly.

Good luck everyone!
