Hi Aquamarina, thanks for your interest, please see below...

Quote:

Can the template colors be customized? Can the existing colors be template color schemes/graphics be customized as in different WP themes? For example, by season?

> Yes absolutely, it comes with 17 themes that you could tailor and activate according to season etc. if you like.

Quote:

Can the logo be moved to the right instead on the 2 column layout?

> Yes, you'd just have to edit the header a little and change the CSS.

Quote:

Is the Newly Added a separate module or part of the template?

> It's part of the template.

Quote:

In checking the demo, there is no area for manufacturers. That is a must for our site. We have 53 manufacturers and growing. We also have over 50 categories and we do not use sub-categories, with very few exceptions. Generally, subcategories don't work for us.

Any suggestion on how to handle that with Smart Template?

> I have added some manufacturers, please check the demo now.

Quote:

Is the random product a separate mod or part of the template?

> It's part of the template.

Quote:

Is the optional product layout available to visitors (grid v list)?

> It's just a standard feature of the template, available to all visitors. You can set the default view to be either grid or list.

Mr. G

Sounds like pingdom might be picking out all images from the CSS files, the majority of which, may not be served to the visitor, so I'm not quite sure how reliable that performance monitor is... I think the images in question are just icons that do not get used by default.

It is a template and therefore is somewhat left open for you to optimise yourself, that's not to say we haven't already optimised it for SEO purposes

I'd like to know anyone's SEO experiences with the smart template... Feel free to drop me a PM.

Regarding the new template, it is the highest priority and it's nearing completion. I will post full details here when it's ready.

If anyone would like to request features for the new template, then by all means drop me a PM, but get in quick.

It is coming, just taking a bit longer than anticipated!

Anyone have any problems with this template not displaying properly in IE9?

When you click on a product, it doesnt display the description.

Works fine in fire fox.

Hi sylvester436, can you PM me your URL so I can take a look.

The template is entirely CSS based. Bear in mind that if your product descriptions are not well formed, ie. there's an unclosed DIV or SPAN element, it can break the layout. Quite often the WYSIWYG editors do not produce valid XHTML.

Some preview screenshots of the new template (work in progress, it's about 90% ready).

The name for the new template is Ability.
