osCommerce Cafe

Since becoming involved on the net in the capacity of actually designing sites I have found it to be very time consuming and very frustrating at times. When it comes to the design of the site it seems that using a template is much more satisfying in that regard because it is so much easier. You can plug in the template and have the site up and running in minutes. Then you just need to start adding the content. It is so much simpler to work this way and make adjustments to suit your needs instead of just starting from scratch.

The osCommerce Café offers this service with the ability to download as many osCommerce template designs as you want. They currently have 70 available and have several membership packages you can choose from. Customers can sign up for a three month, six month or one year membership during which time they get to download as many osCommerce templates as they like. They charge $89 for a three month membership when many competitors charge about $150 for just ONE design. This site is for web designers who need to be able to access multiple template designs for their sites with out having to buy them all individually. Imagine buying 70 templates at $150 each. Why would anyone do that when they can get access to download them all for just $89?

The business itself was founded by Myles O’Reilly in March 2006. He is also the author of the popular book The Programmer’s Guide to osCommerce. With a background in the business they know exactly what kind of sites web designers need to get their sites going at an affordable price. They also know how valuable time is and how quickly many sites need to be internet ready. Take a look at their site and see some of the designs up close to get an idea of how they can help you.
