LaGarde enhances StoreFront e-commerce platform

[April 24th 2001]

LaGarde has announced the latest addition to its market-leading StoreFront e-commerce software line, the StoreFront 5.0 Theme Publisher, which allows third-party graphic designers to create, package and distribute StoreFront 5.0 themes. Graphic designers can take advantage of the freely distributed packaging and publishing tool to market themes packages specifically designed for the StoreFront platform, and merchant developers will enjoy the availability of additional resources for creating visually effective StoreFront web stores. The StoreFront 5.0 Theme Publisher is available at no charge and can be downloaded from the Updates section of the StoreFront web site.

StoreFront 5.0, the fifth generation of LaGarde's proven StoreFront software, introduced the use of StoreFront themes to enable developers to create sophisticated, customized web store designs or fully integrate with existing site designs. StoreFront themes, which function much like FrontPage themes, provide a framework for designers to create coordinating templates, including custom images and buttons, that are then applied to all StoreFront web store pages.

"We are pleased to make designing StoreFront web stores easier than ever with the introduction of StoreFront themes into StoreFront 5.0 and now the release of the Theme Publisher," said Bob LaGarde, CEO of LaGarde. "LaGarde has always appreciated the importance of its relationship with the FrontPage community, and we feel the Theme Publisher enables us to further extend that reach to FrontPage theme designers."
