These are just some quick tips that I have learned in building sites and using cubecart.

• If you are copying and pasting text ALWAYS use this icon so that you strip out the coding.

When getting your images together for your website you come upon many questions about sizing, naming etc.

• Always be sure when naming images that you do not have spaces in the name, ie blue overalls.jpg should be named blue_overalls.jpg or all one word, blueoveralls.jpg.

• You want to make sure you do not have any special characters in your image names either like (, ), #, or other special characters will cause issues with Cubecart on your website. It can make images disappear, even if you uploaded them earlier and they were working.

• If your site has digital files these same rules apply. You want to make sure you do not have any special characters in your digital file names like (, ), #, or other special characters will cause issues with Cubecart on your website. It will cause problems for your instant download as well. I know if you have several digital products it can be tricky naming your files but I recommend a format like RND_CuteBears_08.zip

Category Images:

If your adding an image to your Category on the Add Category Link make sure it is a small image as to not throw off the Category Display. You will save the larger more detailed images for your actual products.

Images - You will need to make your images smaller and optimized on your computer. You do not want to try and upload an image directly out of a Camera into your store or Gallery.
