Working With the Solution Storefront
The Solution Storefront contains numerous pages, designed with the Web Parts from six functional areas.
The site pages include:
Catalog pages that handle the display of products.
Management pages that handle customer service information and store location.
Marketing pages that handle marketing (advertisement, discount, special offers, and so on) display capabilities
Orders pages that handle the order completion process.
Profile Administration pages that handle shopper logins, account, addresses, credit cards, and so on.
Search pages that search both the e-commerce site and any static content, to display the search results, and enable your shoppers to page through several pages of search results
A site page usually consist of Web Parts from two or more of the functional areas, such as displaying a product (catalog Web Parts), showing the current shopping cart contents (orders Web Parts) and if the shopper is signed in to the site, some personal information such as name may also appear (profiles Web Parts).
With Microsoft SharePoint 2010, you create shopping site componentization by using a combination of pre-defined (but customizable) template pages coupled with existing SharePoint 2010 Web Parts by using XSL templates.
To modify the Solution Storefront for your business, we recommend the following steps:
Adding logos
Skinning the site
Adding relevant 'static' text, such as contact numbers, terms and conditions, more verbose instructional text, and so forth
