I needed to make it so the websites that I manage had a better user experience then what they currently had to increase the ease of use for the customers. There did not seem to be much out there for layout of the products for Zen Cart. I could only find 1 grid layout that was very old and no longer supported. People were able to get this MOD to work but seemed to have to do a lot of changes to make it happen. There were of course the templates or modifications that you could buy, but it seems ridiculous to me to buy add-ons for open-source code.

I looked at what was already available in the code and just reused what was given in a new way. This keeps the core code intact and does not affect anything but the aesthetics of the site. By simply modifying a few lines of PHP, commenting out a couple things, adding in some new DIV tags, and a new CSS file I have a grid layout for my products. All changes can be done in simple CSS code and it is expandable to screen resolution and can be completely customized to each template that anyone will need.
