How Can I Edit The Navigation or CSS Style Sheets?

To make our service very user-friendly and easy to manage, we’ve limited the amount of customization that you can do with Value Addon however there are other ways to change or customize parts of Value Addon even though we don’t naitivly support it.

Web-based tools such as Optimizely.com will allow you customize parts of Value Addon that otherwise wouldn’t be customizable. These tools will allow you to edit pretty much any part of your membership with a simple click of the mouse.
