That's really hard to say without knowing more about what you want. Are you not happy with what you have now? Do you need some features it does not have? Let us know a bit and perhaps we can help you with that question.

Just thought i'd say that you've done a really good job with that shop it looks really nice, and so does the jewellry.

Better make sure the misses doesnt see this

Thanks for the compliments, but did you take a look at the source code?

I need a system that creates a better one. All the tables and attributes ... just take a look here http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...Fvddshop.de%2F

You can start with the default template (which should validate XHTML 1.0 transistional) and build a shop that will look and feel just like what you have with Zen Cart. While not totally tableless, it is not full of nested tables and inaccessable forms. Using the template override sytem, you only have to touch the files you need to change. Most of the look is controlled by the stylesheet.
