Thanks the responding. I know my questions were very vague but I'm still trying to become familiar with X-cart. Our graphics person will not change, he is quite good, the problem is with me in that I am not enough of a web designer/developer to keep this running smoothly.

Okay, here is an example of what I'm working on changing. When the site first loads the basic menu bar appears at the top, then there is a bar with the"search" field. On the left side has "products" and "manufacturers", the right side has "shopping cart" and other areas and the center is where you view products and click through the menus.

Right now, the "boxes" on the left and right side have a solid color background while the rest of the site has a white background. The first thing I'd like to do is have one continuous background image across all three sections. The next thing would be to change the text color and properties (size, font, bold, etc.)

My problem is that (1) I need to tell the graphics guy the background needs to be <insert size and other specs here> and (2) I need to know how to incorporate that into the site.

I had thought of getting someone to consult but I can't see needing someone for the entire development cycle. I just to figure out what to tell my graphics guy and then code it in.

As I said, my problem is that I don't even know the right question to ask.

If any of this is a little more helpful I would appreciate hearing any advice.

Thanks.
