Default Re: Using a Parallax template with xcart 5?

Keep in mind that these template monster demo sites you see are backwards - the demo site is made to fit the template.
When you use the template on a live (or in development) site you actually have to make the template to fit the site. And this is where the whole thing just breaks. Because it was not designed specifically for your store, modules, vision, business model, etc.

Here is one for XC - http://www.templatemonsterpreview.com/demo/63509.html - I just picked one randomly. 90% of what you see that is not XC stock is hardcoded meaning when you install it on a live site it will start breaking and will need work to tweak it and make it work. Categories, menus, images, etc.

You can take any design you like and it can be integrated to work with XC store but this is all custom work and will cost you. Same applies to Shopify by the way. If it is not custom all sites look somewhat the same as they use the same templates just different colors and some elements depending on business type.
You just can't expect to find $50-$100 template that works and it is liked by everyone. These are mass produced templates. Not that they are not good though. If you want to have nice good looking and unique site you need to get an actual web designer to design the site specifically for your business and then a web developer to integrate it on your site. That's the only way you can get what you want.
