Hello everyone,
I'm new to nopcommerce. I've been looking the the documentation and through the forum posts and I cannot seem to find direct guidance on modifying a theme.
I found the head.cshtml file in Themes/DefaultClean/Views/Shared directory. I see the layout is empty (Layout ="";) and I see the CSS files there.
I then find the index.cshtml file in Views/Home direcrectory if find widget zones. I've gathered that public widget zones are what clients see. Is there an admin widget zone? How would I access these zones to change the overall look of the site. I didnt think that nopCommerce would have these things abstracted away. I simply want to edit a view to create static pages (home page, about, contact us etc).
Can anyone please guide in the right direction or point me to a meaningful resource on how to edit these themes?
