This is my business website. I’ve been doing Zen Cart modifications (and also working with a handful of other carts) since 2006.

Story

For years I had a static HTML site designed for desktops. Here’s what the old site looked like:

In 2013, I finally updated my site to use Twitter Boostrap 3 so it could be easily viewed on mobile devices.

It’s a blog style website, with an entry or two a month since about 2006.

I loved the Ericka template, but like many templates, it was built for small websites. My site has almost 200 pages - see sitemap - so I really wanted to use Server Side Includes (SSI) and consolidate the common code. I wound up slicing the template up into chunks (38 partial files at the time of writing), and rebuilding the pages out of these partials.
