Customize Header and Footer for Entire Store

[archeie]

We need to have our own customized header and footer for the site. I do not want to use the store themes. How do we customize the header/footer for the entire store in the online admin area? I prefer not compile/decompile the code files to throw up a custom header/footer on the site. what options do we have? thanks.

For this you need to create your own header and footer scriptlets. You can do this very easily. Standard Header.htm file in the App_Data/Scriptlets/Custom/Header/ directory similarly create Standard Footer.htm file in App_Data/Scriptlets/Custom/Footer/ folder. This will override the standard ones automatically. You can also create your themes as well. Please read the following topic regarding the store themes
