<!-- Enhanced API (Before other scripts) -->
<script src="/assets/js/api-enhanced.js"></script>

<!-- Existing scripts -->
<script src="/assets/js/shop-system.js"></script>

```

### 2. Add Responsive CSS

Add in `<head>` section:

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/responsive-fixes.css" />
```

### 3. Add Main Content ID

For skip link functionality, add to main content area:

```html
<main id="main-content">
  <!-- Page content -->
</main>
```
