I love templates and switch them up as often as I can afford or when the next cute one comes out. If you know how to design website templates, then think about doing ShoppePro ones. I and a few of my friends have stores hosted by ShoppePro and use the template designers they offer.
Here are the sites. Can you do it better?
Now here's the link for ShoppePro to see all the code stuff. There's even a diagram that I have no idea what's going on in it.http://www.shoppepro.com/diytemplate.html And of all these designers are any of the BBWO members on there? I've been through them all and I don't think so. http://www.shoppepro.com/designpartners.html
Now, Bits Baubels & Buttons told me about Polka Dot Dandy. Then, I told VCreations. Now, I'm helping JoyPhase & recommending my new people who did the latest template. At some time BBB did Bundt Blessing Cakes using Photoshop. JoyPhase is currently looking for a new template, the one she has now is a freebie. She likes purple!
The last one is mine, I paid around $39.99 for my template. They charge $12-25 for add-ons like little link button, color change, font change, banners, and business card templates. So, I'm missing my cute little Twitter, FB, blog buttons. My PayPal button comes up as a broken pic. I have a limited edition template so that one sells that one about 15 times at $40+ if you get the add-ons.
If I knew how to do it, I would. Matter of fact how would I go about learning how to do that?
Basically, you have four sites that are doing pretty good and one just opened last week. You could have your link right at the bottom.
Thanks for you time & if you think you can do it, let me know!

It's been awhile since you posted this, so I don't know if you're still looking, but I wanted to show off the banner that LaShanda did on my website (and shamelessly plug my site). Check out www.myprettywings.com. I think LaShanda has done a great job on the banner and I've gotten a lot of compliments. I used Shoppe Pro's DIY Templates and the banner made a big difference in personalizing the site.
My name is Christin and I am a web & graphic designer. My site is Trendy by Design (http://www.trendybydesign.com). I USED to be listed on the Shoppe Pro design partners page, but I guess that I was taken off because I now offer the same shopping cart system! I had a collection of pre-made templates on my site (from $30 and up), which I took off, due to the fact that customers wanted more custom designs. If you would like templates, let me know! I can certainly make them AND I provide hosting and shopping carts at an affordable price!

I just signed up with Shoppe Pro myself and am attempting to use the DIY templates. I'm getting Photoshop upgraded on my system now, but I'm not a pro at using it, but I did see a video Youtube on how you can cute and past to make such things as banners and change backgrounds. Again, I'm attempting to do this myself, so far, I was able to change the background of the template to my liking, now I'm working on the banner, which is where Photoshop will come in.
If I find that I can't do it, I will ask LaShanda to create a banner for me. I see that she offer a great package and does a great job.
If I can be of assistance, let me know.
I like to DIY but I currently don't have Photoshop. Please share once you're ready to launch it!
As much as I like DIY projects, this may be one I will have to enlist help with myself. Photoshop does not seem hard to use, but I see it will take some time to get the hang of. The tutorials that I found on Youtube are helpful, but you need to take the time to watch a few and practice them, and right now, I just don't have that time, plus trying to prepare products, promote and do everything else that I will need to do for the site to get it up is a lot. So I will be reaching out to Lashanda to have her create my site's banner (I already created the background I wanted in Photo Elements) and I will play with Photoshop and hopefully be comfortable enough with it to do future updates and projects on my own. Since the banner is the first thing a person sees when they land on your page, I want that to look it's best so I'll leave that to the professional, LaShanda!
