Hi Thushar,

The plugin has a very simple use… think of it has your layout/  
application.html.erb in a different syntax with control over the model  
and object it can accesses.

It was designed to allow the store owner to customize their store look  
and feel on [Shopify.com](http://Shopify.com). The goal was to give the flexibility of  
customization without compromizing the security and stability of the  
application.

makes sense?
