The cache settings were indeed wrong, it does load em properly now. I'm already working on a CSS Editor, however the larger problem is not so much how it looks, but what it shows on a page. An example would be the right bar. Perhaps that customer A wants to show their phone number, while customer B wants a related products colom there. My idea was to let them be able to edit the shop in that way, which would be more then CSS can achiev.
My idea thus far would be to create a seperate component per customer, and configure apache to figure out which site goes to which component. The end idea of the project is to give customers a ready shop they can use, but also that they can edit all the way. They don't like the way it was positioned? Just click edit, drag'ndrop it, save, and it's the way they wanted it to be. If they want to create for example, a new widget somewhere, then they can click new, widget, insert whatever data would be needed and it'd be there, on the page they clicked new on. This would give customers a much greater freedom then the average webshop would give them.
