Default Upgrading Skin From 4.3 - 4.4
How difficult is it to upgrade an x-cart template from 4.3 to 4.4? I have no css\smarty skills but I'm the kinda guy who can bumble along and figure things out eventually... Any ideas on what an x-cart template guru would charge for such a job?

I bought a template from Aheadworks but they are not upgrading their skins to 4.4. You can see it at www.usedtravelbooks.com.au

You can't upgrade the skins, they are completely different. You need to start from scratch and rebuild it on 4.4

Don't bother upgrading your site to 4.4.1 if you haven't already - it isn't worth the headache at this point. I would go to 4.3.2 though just to be sure you have all the bug fixes.
