Best Prices On osCommerce Templates

I deal with a lot of people that are looking for the best price on certain web design items however; the best price isn’t always the best way to go. The purpose of a website is to make money and if you start cutting corners on the amount of money you are willing to spend, you will also be cutting corners on the amount of money you are able to make.

I’ve been designing websites for the last 8 years but what is more important than that is that I’ve been making my living online for the last 8 years. And I can tell you that the look and feel of your website matters.

If you want to get an ecommerce website online and have a website that will both save you money and make you money then the osCommerce templates are by far the best way to get started.

Selecting a website template is a decision that should not be taken lightly. The template you decide on will set the tone for your entire website. So…before you dive into just any old template, you need to have a good idea of the type of visitor that will be coming to your website.

Using templates is by far the best and fastest way to get started and is the reason that many companies are opting for website templates rather than going for full fledged custom web design.

The reason a lot of companies go with templates is because of: cost, quality and functionality.



Today there are so many professionally designed website templates and so many web designers who have the ability to customize them, that it is slowly bringing an end to the low budget websites and high-end custom built websites. The belief that a low budget website equals poor quality is no longer the truth.

A website template is a pre-designed website page layout and includes images, sample navigation layout, sample pages and sometimes even some flash animation. They are ready to use and all you have to do is add your content. The advantage of the website template is that you are actually getting a professionally designed website for a really affordable cost. And let’s not forget that these templates can be customized.

I wrote a post yesterday about osCommerce templates and ranked on the second page, today that ranking is gone.

Depending on the search engines for traffic can be one of the hardest things to work with. It’s one of the reasons that I’ve started looking more and more into social media marketing. And it’s funny that I can sale more websites for $2,400.00 that are custom designed then I can sale of the osCommerce templates.

Not sure if people don’t want to do it themselves or if they believe all the crap that other web designers say about osCommerce templates.
Guess I should have someone start asking them when they call and see what I can find out.

osCommerce is an Open Source Online Shop as well as the very best E-Commerce Solution

I get 20 calls a day were people ask me if I am building custom website designs or if it is a template website. I build custom website designs and I also sell template websites but the sad truth is that every website is a template.

And the difference between a custom website template and a website template bought from a template site is nothing more than a couple tweaks here and there.
Web designers that are unable to compete on the price of web templates are even the look of web templates have started the whole that’s a template website thing.

But the truth is that with a couple tweaks you end up with a custom designed template site either way you go. A template is just that, a template. If someone builds you a website and then places that same look and feel throughout the site then you now have a template website.

If they don’t, then you know have a confused website visitor.

The correct way to build a website is to carry the same look and feel throughout the site. Of course that could change in the future but at the time of writing this article that is the correct way to build a website.

The reason is that you don’t want your website visitor to feel that they have left the site with each click of the mouse. Once you’ve designed the site with the same look and feel you know have a template. We could call it a website template as it is a website and a template.

Why Use osCommerce Templates?

There are lots of good looking osCommerce templates on the Internet and they are an easy way to get a good looking ecommerce site up and running with only a small investment of time and energy.

The truth is that osCommerce templates look better than most of the custom designed sites being produced today. Template designers have gotten darn good at graphic designing because it’s all they do day after day. Their involvement in your store ends when you buy their template, allowing them to focus on nothing but designing.

The web has changed and in under an hour you can have a good looking osCommerce website up and running. Once the site gets online you can hire a custom designer to make some changes here and there for a small fee and no one will ever know it’s the same template being sold online.

Make your own osCommerce store

A lot of programmers and web design companies will do their best to convince you that building it from scratch is the way to go. The truth is you’ll end up with a lot less for a lot more money. If you have enough spare time to learn the system properly then you are not serious about your business.

Every day you spend learning and building your site is another day you lose money because your site is not online making you money.
Word of warning

Just because a company seems professional doesn’t mean they will give your business the attention it deserves. Get your site online and start fine-tuning it from there.
