Chapter 1. Customizing PrestaShop

Just like in any bricks-and-mortar retail business, an online store will have a shop front or a display area and a back-of-house area where the administration activities and management of business is carried out. For online businesses, the pages that appear on your customers' browser are your shop front. In PrestaShop, we will refer this as your front office. Your back-of-house area will be your PrestaShop's back office administration panel.

For this chapter, we will firstly give you a brief rundown of what skill sets you should have to fully benefit from this book. We will later learn how the PrestaShop back office administration panel affects your theme, which in turn affects what your site visitors will see on their browser.

Now that you have successfully installed the PrestaShop program, you must have noticed that PrestaShop comes with a default template that is ready to be customized.

Let's then get to the business of understanding this default template. This will allow you to change the layout and the look of your online shop. Later you will even be able to build your own themes.

As you progress, you will realize that you may execute things differently to get the same result. You may also work on the FTP or the hosting where you "tweak" the scripts on the servers.
