Before I go into how awesome of a template this is (and it is, indeed, the best template I have ever seen or used), I have a couple of questions. Okay, a few questions (have a newborn baby and my brain is mush).
1.) What happens when the countdown reaches it target? For instance, we have "Christmas is coming!", do I have to get on and disable the countdown on Christmas or will it disable itself?
2.) Do I need to regenerate the product and news RSS each time I add/delete? Assuming so since there's a regenerate button, but I like to cover the bases.
3.) More of a comment/wishlist of sorts here... The Smart Comments will not accept an email address with a hyphen. Is this fixable or could it be added for the next revision?
4.) Call me a moron, but my "submit comment" button begins to load with the page and then disappears. Any ideas?
5.) Out of laziness I will ask about my special offer images overlapping... I think this is due to my images being too large (I am using the liquid template which has more than enough room for them), would this cause the two images to overlap? Tomorrow I will resize them and see how they look, but I couldn't wait to share with others about how great the template is, so I am tossing that last question in now.
Onto the mushy stuff.....
I would llike to say that in the year and a half that I have used xCart I have purchased four different templates and still felt like the site "wasn't getting it". Needless to say, I have invested a ton of money in themes, and
am absolutely speechless with this template.
It is bold & striking, comes with all the bells and whistles, right down to very specific, clear installation instructions. I am so impressed, what else can I say?
I could say you are not charging enough for it, which would be true, but potential purchasers would probably hunt me down and hurt me - eventhough they would probably be just as happy with the template as I am, after paying double the price it is now.
As for Phil & Support - My Goodness, he is wonderful!
You will not be disappointed, if you need support. The instructions are such that you probably wont. Trust me on this, if you can't tell from reading this post, I like to get to the bottom of things, and I have checked this template out from one end to the other and the only questions I have are listed above, all of which I could probably figure out had I not wanted to brag on this template so badly.
May your theme and accompanying instructions be an inspiration to other developers!
YOU ROCK!
