I bought this template not knowing much about x-cart, my first attempt at a store, but it does everything I need and more, thanks Phil!
This has to be the best template released, ever. You can do everything you need to do and more. The mods and styles you can achieve save you an absolute fortune. This is an all in one template. You don't need any other mods. Phil is a great help and I can only praise him for all the effort put into this template. Thanks Phil appriciate it.
Great template. If you've installed X-Cart and are looking at the default skins and thinking "where do I go from here?", then this is the template you need to kick-start your store. It's got so many features built-in and will save you money in the long run. It's even got a theme designer that will generate the CSS for you! I thoroughly recommend it for beginners and seasoned users alike. Thanks Phil, Bob.
