Default How to keep cart info across existing static website

I am setting up x-cart but i need to integrate it with and existing static web site that is more about information and education. The look and feel of the site doesn't seem like something i can duplicate with x-cart static pages, primarily on the home page. Is there a way to create separate smarty templates, with extremely different layouts and apply them to sections of the site, or can i put some php code into the existing static pages to keep the users session and cart information with as they travel through the website?

Any help is appreciated,
Beau

The cart info is stored in a cookie, so the data should be safe as a user goes through the static portion of the site. I run a few sites like this and never had a user complain about losing their cart info when they went to the static pages. Getting the cart info to appear on the static pages is another issue all together though.....
