Hi Anne!

My head is spinning, with all of your great templates lately. Wanted to immediately put this Preston one up and test it, but cannot get to your download page.

I can't really make a template, but I know what I like and I like your work and this template in particular (of course, for me All Business is a classic.)

I really like how you've moved the homepage slider up, great move. Just wondering if you've considered something like the Acoin slider? Personally I like it's effects a little better, but then I/we should all be able to change sliders if needed.

Lately you've also been making the product layout a little more "modern" to my eye; moving the attributes and add to up up across from the main photo. Especially noteciable for me on your dress test products.

Great work! Now, need the download link....

PS: I'm sending you a PM

Sorry about that! I just fixed the download link on my site.

I don't really have any plans on using different silders in the free templates. This sort of customization is something that you can do if you want a different slider.

The home page layout is done entirely using css so it is very flexible, and from a usablility standpoint all aspects of the installation/customization are the same as my other free template pacakgs.

I have not done customization on the product info pages for the free template packages becasue on this page, it really is important to customize it to the particular needs of your business. There are several separate modules that customize this page that are available for download in the plugins section.

Thanks,

Anne

Just Installed this great Template.
The fly-out Contact-Us labels Name, Message, and Email are missing, only red dots show.
What file contains these english label names?
Thanks

I have just installed the latest version of zencart (v1.50) and then installed the Preston-elite template.

When i get to look at the front end of the website the layout is all messed up.

Have a look at www.glamgems.co.uk

Do you have any suggestions on what i can do to sort this out please?


Thanks for your help.

This is not a problem with the template. It looks like your stylesheet is not loading. I would try uploading the template package again.

You might have a look at this:
