It's a nice template but I wouldn't use it...

they are nice templates but its upto you

For my money, I like this...

Needs a bit of tweaking but I like it.

Flash navigation is a no-no in terms of SEO but if you add a footer with a site map and basic navigation, then it would probabally be fine.

Are you going to be using tables or CSSP for the main template design?

pfgannon

not really sure but id liket use cssp(it pays off in the long run)

In regard to the SEO "no-no":
when you purchase a template from them they give u an html as well as a flash template...
it would be hard work but id try to use both and update them equally...so the SE's could spider it

CannonBallGuy

Yeah... that last one does look good...

At the moment, CSS-P isn't too great for layouts (though it's still good to use it, where you can). Wait for CSS-3 to be released and accepted by browsers, then we can start with the good layouts. Oh, that'll be nice.

And we can all move away from this horrible little troll of a browser called IE6. Forever. Because there will never be updates for anything younger than Longhorn. And even then, it'll probably be an entirely new browser, probably named just as inuendous as the operating system--I bet it'll be called stiff-pickle or something of the sort.

CSS3 is going to have some massive problems. Browser compatability is sh*t for CSS2 as it is.

It's not going to get any better on mac ie5 or anything else for that matter.

CSSP is fine as long as you test the design across browsers.

It is worth it in the long run as the code is so much cleaner.

Look at the Vauxhall site (not working on ie5 for the mac - must fix that soon) the code is CLEAN.

well i need to learn cssp b4 i can use it....but thats what i really want to do
and as for making my own template...
i could but it wouldnt be ANYWHERE as nice as these.
I feel kinda crummy buying it tho

http://www.sparewheeltheft.co.uk/ loads fine in Safari, Shiira and IE5.2 on my mac....

Doesn't really load that great on Netscape 4 for WindowsME.

I'm all for CSS layouts, and I use them as much as possible. But 3 column layouts are pretty sad for it so far.

I feel that the future will be better for CSS usage.

Ah, I see. I had like 20 tabs open on Firefox and had forgotten that this was a second page of the thread by Fourton87.

I thought that it was a new thread titled "Should i buy it?" with "How about you help me out I have loads like that here www.cheapwebdezines.com/templates/ I need the money " in iy.
