Stores Templates

Come on guys! I can't believe I'm the only one looking at my store thinking, 'this could be a whole lot better'. Does everyone have great looking stores then? Templates cover the WHOLE of the screen?? Tell me your secret. I'd love to know how.

Hello,

Yeah, a lot of the store templates are designed to fit within an 800x600 resolution, which is getting narrow these days. That used to be the standard size to shoot for since a fair percentage of web users still had that resolution, but more recently 1024x768 has become the standard. Sorry to say there aren't currently any flexible or customizable layouts, but in the meantime, the templates i<3 Store, Slick, and No Frills are designed for 1024.

Thanx Neil

I'm now using one of the templates you recommended. But, lets be honest, they're not very inventive. When are the store templates going to be updated to reflect Auctiva's assertion of professionalism? A range something like Freewebs would be a better option if you guys want to be taken seriously in the website business.

See this thread for news on where the stores are headed.

That's what I like to hear ... imminent!

Best wishes

Mine covers the page pretty well, I think, lol. Check it out HERE!

I'd disagree. Your website, like mine, covers about half of the screen. The rest is filling. In your case, it's snow. In mine, just color. The actual content is crammed into a thin band down the center. I stick with my original comment about this problem ... it looks unprofessional! And desperately needs someone at Auctiva to spend some time on the templates and bring them into the 21st century.
