how do I hide the url so the customer just sees www.shopname.com all the time.. and not www.shopname.com/default.php?somecode; ? some more code..?

 

And also how do i change the color on the boxes..?

Why would you do that?

1) It's an absolute pain for your visitors

2) You can't hide the URL from knowledgeable people

 

Anyway, you could achieve that by setting a frame around default.php. I have never tried it (for obvious reasons).

Well, I thought perhaps it would give it a bit more clean look. Perhaps It's right. But what about those boxes how do I change their color?

Displaying only the site name and not the whole URL is BAD. See Jakob Nielsen Alertbox on "Deep Linking" here http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20020303.html.

 

On the other hand (and this might be your motivation), in his "Top Ten Web-Design Mistakes 2002" (http://useit.com/alertbox/20021223.html), Jakob Nielsen lists URL> 75 characters as #9.

You can try to set Search-Engine Safe URLs. YMMV.
