I find that if you study the template engine {Smarty} that Oxwall is based on, you will see it can be used in the pages or not...
You can remove a lot of the code in any of the pages. Use the Smarty tags to add the really important things and write new styles for the elements.
Go to the admin panel -- main page settings -- add you header files.
Change system to MUST SIGN IN to view site. Customize you sign in page.
Here is our site
Cipha Connect
We changed the general functions of Ox Wall and built external pages using other frameworks.
<!-- Use your .htaccess file to add new pages that are public accessible. This way, all the content will not be locked away from the public who didn't join and maybe never will. -->
Modify your .htaccess file to allow other pages or even installations like Wordpress or Drupal. You will be able to operate using differnet types of programs to give your site more outlets.
