Julian,

You can check the add on area HERE

But, quite honestly......there is no value in a FREE template.  You get what  you pay for.

But, quite honestly .... a commercial themes developer would naturally say that .... hmmm?  "Vested interest" springs to mind.

Hmmm.  Would you rather run your business with a design that is yours and yours only, or a design that is freely available and could be used in 100s of shops?

Guess it depends on the ability of the person.  I'd like a free template that's close to what I'm after, then I can change it around to what I'd like it to be.

Actually,  I am speaking from experience.  FREE templates are usually out-dated osCommerce versions or are very poorly coded.  I the long run, they cost more time and headache than they are worth.  Paying a fee to a commercial template developer is well worth the money.
