Hi Guys, I pretty new on this forum.
I just wanted to say that I have had some luck with finding good free templates over the past few months. True, there are not too many out there to choose from, but what I normally do is when I do find a good one, I change it to suite what I need it for.
One of the things I have learned about using open source packages like these is that that are really quite simple to change. The layout are all very similar from one to the next, so the real changes are just cosmetic like changing the pictures and backgrounds, and maybe adding some links that you would like on your site.
For example.. All the sideboxes and made up of images, so all you have to do is download the images from the sites image folder and change them to suit, keeping the sizes the same of course
I find that some people get a bit nervous about changing things on an osc/zencart template incase they screw up the store, but as long as you have the original files at hand, all you have to do is upload the file to replace the one you messed up, and your site is back to normal again.
Anyway, I have probably blabbered on a bit for my first post here, but if it helps anyone, then blabbering is a good thing LOL
regards
