 Let's start with filling in some of your company details. These settings are available through the ''''Administration'''' menu, ''''General settings'''' link, at the ''''Company options'''' page. By default, the company title and phone numbers appear on each page of the store. As for e-mail addresses, it's not necessary to use a different address for all your departments, however, doing so may ease your feedback process as customer letters will be classified depending on the subject.
