Free OsCommerce templates requires a certain degree of knowledge

Posted in oscommerce templates by admin0 on the September 1st, 2008

And that is the cold truth, my friends, designing a free osCommerce template requires a specific set of knowledge and I tell you this from my own experience. It is not easy to design a skin for a well structured engine, no matter it is osCommerce, Zen Cart or WordPress, they all requires you as a designer, developer or whatever you want to call yourself know your job very well.

Why is an osCommerce template difficult to design?

The reason is quite simple: there is not easy to consider all the features such a powerful engine has. It is easy to draw and design a skin, no problem here, ok? Every website designer is able to do it, but then the real problem comes, the fact that you need to break that design into HTML and integrate the PHP calls and this is also a tricky thing to do.

Also you need to know your script languages, PHP is not a difficult language, if you know your way around it, but it is not easy of you don’t. May sound obvious but think about the fact that a simple call to a PHP function there may bring a lot of code you did not expect, like for example tables, grids, lot of products with one simple call of a function and you need to also design and customize that call and here you need to know your way in PHP a bit to know where to find your stuff.

That is the reason for which I say that designing free osCommerce web templates is not an easy to do task and you need to learn a bit of programming, HTML, PHP before jumping into it.
