This course is designed to help Actinic users get the most of the design features in Actinic Catalog and Actinic Business. During the course, delegates will go through all the different concepts that underpin the entire Actinic design, and learn the tools and techniques for totally customising the store layouts.

In order to get the most out of the course, delegates need to have already come on the 'Running Your Actinic Store' course, or have a basic familiarity with the set up and management features in Actinic. The course features a lot of HTML customisation, so a knowledge of HTML is very useful.

"I must compliment the trainer at Actinic - he was superb - so knowledgeable yet very patient when we didn't understand something."
