TheBest Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hello you experts. I am struggling to find some good free templates/themes for version 2.3.x I have googled and googled and found some and also a lot of dead links.... Do any of you have a favorite free template site to recommend ? Thanks a lot. Petter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Just remember 'You get what you pay for'. Some templates are badly or poorly coded and could cause you some further pain and headaches when you try to add some more features from the addons area.as the template may have changed parts of the code.. Once you add a template you may get little help and support on these forums as this forum is for oscommerce as supplied by oscommerce. Its not too hard to modify a standard setup of oscommerce to look nice. Have you read the 'how do I' thread within these forums, it is full of help about canging and customising oscommerce.

Guest Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 @@TheBest There is no such thing as free. Either the template is going to cost you money, or it's going to cost you time. Either way, you will pay for it. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBest Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 hmmm....I understand. So what you guys suggest is to either use some time on making my own template (modify the standard template) or buy a commercial made template ? I find the price of templates quite expensive though. Very often around 100 dollars or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥multimixer Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 You could take a look what the osCommerce partners have to offer, there is a template section There is a series of very affordable templates available and a system to let you setup your own look, both solutions are well supported by their creators Quote My community profile | Template system for osCommerce - New: Responsive | Feedback channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥14steve14 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I find the price of templates quite expensive though. Very often around 100 dollars or more. I would think that 100 dollars is cheap to brand your business. Some businesses spend millions doing this. 100 dollars spent on a design which if it was good, would recoup you your money quickly. If you had a bricks and morter store would you pay 100 dollars to paint the inside and outside and add fixtures and fittings. I expect in reallity you would spend a lot more.
