Default Different Skin Themes Per Customer

Hello-

I am interested in having my clients be able to choose their style while they shop. I learned from being a vBulletin board owner and admin that many clients are not happy when you change a entire store or forum skin on them. vBulletin as the admin's know here support a style chooser which allow you to change styles.

Is it possible to have two skins in X-Cart? I feel that for store this could be very helpful.

I know that this might become a paid request, if so lets talk.

Have a wonderful day.

In my opinion, not worth the effort.
Can you name one top-500 ecom site that allows the customer to determine the look of the store?

Thanks for the reply, I have a art driven site and wanted to give return customers a choice of style. or a a style they can choose by thier favorite artist. It won't be a choice as you enetr the site. I have 60-70% returning clientelle.

You have always been helpful in your replies.

OK. Understood.

Have you considered changing the look of each category or even product template? Maybe check out the multiple product and category template mods from WebsiteCM?

I am a firm believer in its the merchant's job to help the customer find what they need... and I think having different templates for different product categories and/or items is important.

But again, re-skinning on a per-customer basis sounds like a tremendous amount of work without a real merchandising payoff.

Making an artist's page "their own" is one thing, changing your store navigation look and feel is something entirely different.
