Need Opinion on 1.3 Template

Hey Everyone,

I’m building my third shopping site, but this is the first one using Zen Cart. (just as a quick note Zen Cart is so much better than the carts I’ve used before its kind of like comparing an open source Cadillac with M$ Yugo <lol>) Anyway, I need a professionally done 1.3.6 template because my skills as a designer leave much to be desired. I’ve searched the forum high and low and I see lots of warnings about dodgy templates.

Can anyone comment on the templatemonster’s product? Why is it I see the same templates for sale at many different sites?

If I find a template that says its 1.3.0 compatible will it work with 1.3.6?

Finally, could some kind soul PM me a list of reputable template providers for a 1.3.6 site?

TIA
Dean

Why is it I see the same templates for sale at many different sites?

They are affiliates of TemplateMonster.

well I would PM you but you don't have it turned on and You also have your profile set to not let emails through

TM Templated are nortorius for not being well designed to allow future upgrading of ZenCart and/or just plain are not compatible from the beginning.

You can PM or email either barco or myself and/or post in the commercial area on this site.

If I find a template that says its 1.3.0 compatible will it work with 1.3.6?
Additonal css required in order for 1.3.0 templates to work correctly
with zencart 1.36 i.e.

Thanks all

What questions should I ask of the template developers to make sure their templates are fully 1.3.6 functional?

oh and I've fixed that PM problem :blush: so If anyone has a list of reputable template developers, I'd be thankful if you could send it my way.:cheers:
