Customizing OSCommerce?

Before I delve into reading the legthy amounts of material on this subject.. I have some basic questions (basically so I can pitch the general design look first) - ecommerce is just a part of the overall site, can I configure the osCommerce as a php into my existing structure (ie a table) beneath company masthead? - can I eliminate left and right columns and (OSC) header? - can I fuse elements of left and right columns and (OSC) header into the one table.. - basically I don't want an OS Commerce look, just one table - with my standardized masthead and navigation above - I want the store (OSC) to look like it belongs with the rest of the site.. I am pretty good w. CSS, HTML and basic PHP.. I realize there are a TON of resources out there.. I'm just looking for a real person to tell me: "yeah its do-able" before I invest many hours into research .. TIA : )

    Yes. it is *possible* to reconfigure the look and feel of the OScommerce front-end. On the other hand it is not easy. There are many parts of OSCommerce layout that make it very counter-intuitive to rework the layout. There are a few nice add-on modules and utilities that would help you if you were set on doing it this way. In particular there is one utility that replaces all the tables with DIV tags... These resources are located in the OSCommerce.com community contributions pages.
