Not at all. Most people add their own designs to X-Cart - once you get the hang of it it is easier than you think. There is one set of templates so you edit them once and then every new page you create automatically uses the design. Add a new embedded static page and you'll see what I mean.

You can either buy a pre-made template from someplace like 7dana.com, or you can completely customize the look and feel to what you want. The pre-made templates are obviously easier, but a custom design is really the way to go if you want to get noticed.
