How Easy is it to Customize the Look and Feel?
IndexScript was designed to make it easy for the webmaster to customize the look and feel through the use of only 2 tools:
1. A CSS file - e.g. layout, colors, fonts, etc.
2. Use of template php files - e.g. header, footer, menus, etc.
Both the CSS file and the template php files are located in the style directory and can easily be modified using a text editor.
Is there Integration to Payment Gateways?
The payment configuration of each listing type includes 2 fields - a Payment Message and a Payment Link/Button. After your visitor submits his URL, he will be forwarded to a Payment page (if you have enabled 'Show Listing Types at Submission' and the price of the listing type is more than $0) where the Payment Message and the Payment Link/Button will be displayed to him.
All you have to do is to specify a Payment Message and an appropriate Payment Link/Button (e.g. PayPal, 2Checkout, etc.) for each listing type. It's as simple as that.
Other Features
Besides the features described above, there are lots of other features in IndexScript - e.g. Deep Links feature, Filters, Auto-Notification, etc. The best way to find out more is to download a copy and try it out yourself.
