Youpi - this is the second premium template and add-ons from the AlexBranding team for the CS-Cart platform (all editions) and CS-Cart MultiVendor (all editions) 4.10.1 - 4.16.2, created with the most technological for projects in which the owner expects the maximum return and is ready to use the most modern means of influencing the buyer. This is not just a template for CS-Cart, it is a whole software package that makes the platform (already powerful) as effective as possible in terms of sales, SEO, manufacturability and usability, information content and responsiveness on different devices, incl. mobile
The main concept of Youpi is the creation of a kind of hybrid online and offline store, in which the user receives high-quality advice and assistance in choosing the products he needs (previously it was very difficult to do, but now it is a reality), the store maximizes the involvement of the user in the product lists due to the innovative system that allows displaying infoblocks (banners with different types of information) right among the product tiles. The design is made in such a way that the user is completely immersed in the choice of products and nothing bothers him, but only helps. Further, having made an informed choice of products, the buyer goes to the product card, where the store "loads" the buyer with suitable products that complement his needs, maximizing the receipt
Technically, Youpi is a child theme of the base CS-Cart Responsive theme. It fully uses its logic and files, redefining, supplementing and expanding where necessary with its logic and appearance. When developing the theme, the standard CS-Cart development paradigm was used, which can be found in the platform documentation (you should always use it when extending or customizing the theme)
