Templates from 7dana.com or are there better?
 

Hello all,

Just got x-cart setup and before entering my products I am wanting to change the look. I may just go with the blue skin instead of the default (but how do you change this?) I am also looking at some premade templates from www.7dana.com, particularly this one:

http://www.7dana.com/shop/X-Cart-7Orange-p-30.html

I like it because it is compatable with most browsers and has the same color theme as our other site. Do you see any problems with this? Has anyone used their templates? Are there better ones out there? Will it mess up any future upgrades?

Thanks,
Josh

Josh,

I can recommend his templates....I use one on this site...

It was very easy to install.

Hope that helps,

Louise

Thanks for the input.

What did the installation require? Also I see you didn't pay the extra $80 to remove the link to dana7.com, I am debating whether this is worth it.

I manage dozens of sites and the only thing that prevents me from buying these skins is the fact that I would have to pay to remove the "designed" by text.

If X-cart made it so we couldn't get rid of their logo, I would go with another cart. The same goes for skins as I own some of X-carts, even though they aren't as good (though the recent 4.x skins are great), they don't force you to advertise.

Thus, 7dana ... get rid of the copyright stuff and I'd recommend your skins to my clients. For your standard price, X-cart's latest skins are better.

Mike,

I do agree with you there. I don't care for the fact he puts his name on every template...but at the time I needed a fast solution and it worked out the best.

I was just stating the fact that it was an easy template to work with.

Thanks,

Louise

I have one of there skins & it's great well worth money.
As for copyright who cares give the guy credit, these are great skins, how many customers are going to be bothered about who designed it?

After all how many web designers usually put there mark in footer.
Give credit where credits due.

Also in life you pay for what you get.
Just my input & is not aimed personally at anyone.

You can purchase a copyright free version from them too at a higher cost so the option is there.

I submitted a custom design request to 7dana over a week ago and haven't heard a thing yet. Is this guy still in business?

MetalLaw, sorry but I can't find your message in my inbox...please resend this email because I have had problems with the email last week.

And regarding custom design, I am unable to take any custom works now...too many pending jobs(till the end of next month).. sorry.

Goran, my custom order wasn't really 100% custom. It was a slightly modified Ferrari template. We corresponded by email over the past couple of months regarding modifications to the Clean Blue design but then I decided to switch to the Ferrari design - I sent you the proposed modifications by email and never got a response. Then, last Wednesday, I submitted an actual order through your website. My name is Wojciech Potrykus. I received an automated confirmation of receipt back from your site but nothing else.

Did you get it? I'm ready to do business whenever you are.
