Is it possible to create a professional sales site with XenForo?

[mljother]

I was wondering, because I am seriously considering XenForo, and adapting it to a CMS kind of site. Thing is, I am planning on offering services through the site, so I was wondering if it would be possible to set up XenForo in that way, a kind of "commerce" system?

I do not think so, but just wondering. I just hate having different software (like ZenCart) that don't match in looks.

EDIT: Kind of like how the XenForo site has seemless integration with their purchasing page and the cart and everything. I don't need something extremely extravagant, something like that would certainly work.

There you go Liz, I am getting the very same warning when I hit the XF homepage as of today.

Thanks, Anthony

Really odd as there are no files to download, LOL. Unless you are swiping my graphics which I don't think you would be. Too easy to just download the theme and grab them that way if someone really wanted them badly enough.

I hope I didn't come across critiquing your website or putting it down, I was not aiming for that. The fact that you're using three different softwares and managed them to look similar is a great feat in itself, that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I'd rather just use XenForo as a stop-all solution, and I am not afraid to get a little dirty doing so, I just want to make sure it's possible before splurging.

Thanks again for all the replies, you guys are great.

The problem you will have is that while you can get the main page to match using the pages function, you still have the shop issue.

.app_content_140511002640400 a.uiLinkSubtle { display: none; }
.app_content_140511002640400 a.UIImageBlock_ICON_Image { display: none; }
 
#bootloader_7U5M_ { height: 42px; }

Liz, when you click to allow the download you get a code box titled XD proxy with this inside.

Yeah, I am hoping I can get create a small script instead of using a full blown suite.

Anthony, thanks for the heads up...turns out I have been hacked. Working on it now. Liz

You can create a professional site, even without mods just with the template system. I'm sure a few sites will come out of the dark when xF becomes stable. My site for one, but i'm just not ready to show people what I have just yet. Needs more template tweaking to break it out of the box.

There are several top-notch mods that will also help you achieve this.

Here are some simple Pages from my site so you can see how they look and feel exactly as the rest of the forum:

http://www.cliptheapex.com/community/pages/circuits/
http://www.cliptheapex.com/community/pages/bahrain-international-circuit/

These are all done with basic HTML & CSS so once you throw PHP into the mix...

Could I ask how you're doing the tables there?

They're done using Google's visualization API.
