If I were to make a web page in html as a home page for my business, is it possible to create a template for a shopping cart (such as zencart) to match it as far as the background colors, and maybe the waythe buttons look, etc.? If so, can any of you guys do that?

Skinning applications such as shopping carts is a very common thing. Typically, shopping cart software comes with ample documentation to assist designers in doing integrations.

Are you looking for recommendations for designers, tips for doing this yourself, or are you looking for people to promote their services to you? If the last is the case, we'll need to move this to the proper advertising forum, as members cannot self promote in the main forums :)

Well, I kind of would like to do it myself, but I have no clue how, so I figured I could at least probably try to make an html web page. But before I bother doing that, I wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting my time. Maybe I will post something in the other forums to see if it is even worth it for me to bother with this.

Zencart allows you to make the shop look like anything you want. You have to learn CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to do it, so you should start learning this. Start by making your home page a CSS page so you can continue on with the zencart, or almost any of the shopping carts these days. The following link shows you how to set up a basic CSS page, and build on it from there.
