I need to set up a shopping cart but zen OSCommerse and Cubecart templates all look like the same 3 column layout I made in 1998. Is there a place other than template monster that makes decent templates? I need to sell some t-shirts and need a site. Thanks
Use oscommerce. Install Simple Template System (a hack that makes easier to work on the layout). Then you can just design a "normal" layout for it and put it into the code. An example of a "weird" oscommerce: www.banivechi.com (my BF's site. He wanted something very simple and I had to strip down a lot of template elements for it)
I have read that oscommerce has not updated its code in quite some time. Do you know if that is true?
there is a new version of oscommerce out soon it still in beta stage and it supposed to be greatly improved, i think you can download the beta version for testing but they wont support updates for it until the final release.
