    help question Need Template Recommendation for a Tech Store

    I apologize if the below is inappropriate.
    We are needing a new template for our store site, as we are still using the default and it could use a visual makeover. The site is technology-themed. Being totally blind, I don't have a lot to go on as to the various add-on template designs so was hoping some of you could provide some suggestions. I'm looking for a template that would work well for desktop and mobile sites, has good contrast of colors for those with low vision, includes appropriate accessibility (alt tags, etc), and overall looks modern and fresh. I could pay someone to develop something, but figured it may be worth looking at what's out there for free and maybe going from there.
    Happy to answer any questions you may have. The store is in my sig.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    You might go here and take a look at ZJ-Zencart Query and select Black 2:

    If you're looking at the one I have in mind, both columns are on the right.

    I mention this template only because I thought I would use it for dresses on Prommart.com, but was told here at zencart that it looks more appropriate for computers/electronics. When I tested it, I used different colors and the category column layout grid plugin. I still think that, with the column layout grid, that it had the best category presentation for our dresses.

    You might also take a look at All Business (you can see other templates with her template switcher):

    But probably any free template can work with right graphics.

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of this site.
    I see a black pure on here, but not a black 2. Perhaps I'm missing something?

    No, Black Pure is toward the top. Go to the bottom and you'll see ZJ ZenCart jQuery...the last one. From there you'll have several more selections. Take a look at them all, but I'm especially looking at Black 2. Also has some extra nifty jquery features.

    From your first post, I understand that you are personally unable to see the template, so are relying on a sighted person to advise you if it "looks good for a tech store".

    When I visit your site, it appears to be using the TEMPLATE DEFAULT stylesheet (not even the "classic" stylesheet), so it really looks very basic right now.

    Picaflor Azul has developed many attractive templates that can easily be "re-styled" with your own graphics and colours.

    I would suggest you start with her "ALL BUSINESS" template and go from there.
