    You can begin customizing your homepage by looking for related mods in the free addons section. templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page or templates/your_template/templates/tpl_index_default or templates/your_template/css/ stylesheet.css
    are just a few examples to start editing your homepage, but there are plenty more, important is to know what you want to achieve.

    Thank you very much.

    Would you please recommend some template add-ons, free or premium. I don't mind paying some money. My only purpose is that I want to my shop looks like a website by big company rather than an individual small shop.

    Thank you very much

    I don't know much about paid templates, but i do know you should stay away from template monster templates as they are hard to customize because they don't act as 'standard'.
    If you would like some advice about free templates, you can find 104 of them here, all with support on this forum.
    My website is using the cold_steel template available free, courtesy of Clyde Jones.

    Whatever you do, it'll be in tpl_footer.php.
