Join recognized Turbify experts
and authors Istvan
Siposs and Michael Whitaker and fellow Yahoo!
Store operators for this popular training seminar and learn how to build and
customize a
custom Turbify. Similarly to our previous seminars,
we are now offering this course in a hands-on two-day format in
a state-of-the-art computer lab. We are confident that the combination of theory
and practice will provide attendees with a compelling learning experience.
IMPORTANT: This seminar deals with the advanced features (RTML) of the Turbify Editor. Information covered here does not apply to Yahoo Turbify sites built on the web hosting platform using store-tags. RTML does not work on Turbify' web hosting platform, only in the Store Editor.
Some of the benefits of using the store editor and custom templates are but not limited to:
Easier maintenance for larger stores
Customized Shopping Cart Page
Automating store functionality such as cross-selling, breadcrumbs, etc.
| AGENDA |

will provide you with the information you need to improve the look and

should open one prior to coming to the seminar.) |
