Oscommerce Template Installation

One of the most common complaints about osCommerce, is the appearance of the shop. Anyone familiar with the package can quickly identify a site as being osCommerce. There are a number of things that can be easily changed to improve the look of the shop. But to truly make it one of your own, a template will need to be installed.

A template is a set of files and images that totally change the appearance of a site. There are three ways to install a template into an osCommerce shop:
Simple Template System (STS)
Basic Template System (BTS)
Hard coded
The first two options are contributions that can be installed into an osCommerce shop. They each have their own advantages. However, they cause other problems in the shop and should not be used, in our opinion. The best way to improve the look of your shop is by making the changes to the actual files (known as hard coding). This is a more difficult procedure but provides the best results.

Not all templates will easily work with osCommerce. They can all be adapted but more work is required for some. We can install any of them, of course. Just provide us with the template package and it will be installed in short order.
