Post Store Layout 
Can anyone help me out here? I am new at this shopping cart thing. I have input products and set up my payment gateway. My question is - How do I change the main page of the store to what I want it to look like? I have built websites using Front Page but it is a little different here, it looks like you have to know the proper code in order to design your page. I understand Front Page is not compatible with the cart language. What is the best ( quickest ) way to get my site ready to sell?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, if I need to learn HTML I will do that - if I can get going faster, without the HTML learning wait that would be the best way for now.

There's no easy way here, you really should learn html.
The index.html file in the html directory is the file that controls the frontpage of the store.
You heard right, FrontPage does not work too well with AgoraCart. You might also want to check your site design on other browsers like Netscape, FireFox, Opera.... That way you can see what others may see if they use that browser. Another thing to keep in mind is to use as little javascript as possible and definitely don't use it for navigation. If someone has javascript off on their browser, they won't be able to navigate the site. Also using any software that is proprietary, like FrontPage has some features, that you may find cool, but won't work on other browsers. If things don't work in that person's browser, they will leave your site and go somewhere else, you lose the sale.... Creating a cross browser compatible site is important.
To learn more about setting up AgoraCart, there is a beginner's tuitorial at:

if time is important and keeping the frustration level low then the best, fastest and easiest way to go is with the mentor program...

you can request your mentor or leave it up to mr ed to choose.
that's the best, easiest, fastest and low stress way to do it.

Post Html 
I picked up an HTML book and I'm through the first 120 pages. I have already learned the basics, I just want to thank you again for your advice on learning HTML. Having done some programming with other languages I find HTML pretty easy to learn ( the basics anyway ). Thanks again, I think I'll be up and running by the weekend....

Any other tips would be appreciated
