    Buying Silverstripe Themes Link to this post

    Hi,

    I'm looking to assemble a child daycare website using Silverstripe, and would like it to have a specific theme (children/daycare) - does anyone know of a website where I can buy Silverstripe themes?

    www.templatemonster.com has lots of themes, just none for Silverstripe specifically.

    I'm not particularly interested in the free Silverstripe themes available via www.silverstripe.org - I would like this site to be original looking, but precanned (theme-wise) and ready to add content to.

    Thanks - any artists/developers who want to take up the challenge - message/reply back me as well!

    http://themeforest.net/search?term=children&category=site-templates

    You can choose any html template from themeforest, and find a silverstripe developer, who will convert it to a silverstripe theme. This process can take from 1 hour to some days, depending on the content types and structure of the web site.

    I bought 2 templates from www.templatemonster.com.
    I guide my customer to take a full site with only CSS and Javascript effect.

    I had no problem converting these template to Silverstripe.
    We can get very low cost web site with this technique.

    You will still need some coding effort about 5 hours depending on the number of templates you really need to complete the integration.

    Good luck.

    Thanks Hugues.lamy,

    Do you use Ayyurek's technique to convert your HTML/CSS/JS templatemonster.com templates into SilverStripe themes, or do you use some other technique?

    Nothing magical here.

    I just take the theme, split it in different sections, change the extension to .ss and finaly insert the relevant templating code from Silverstripe.

    The template at www.templatemonster.com are fairly well done with HTML5 and CSS3, so they are easy enough to modify and they are clean enough for good SEO (just don't buy a flash one).

    Last customer, I wasted more time on the theme color and logo integration. This is now an added value service at templatemonster. Coding the theme for the Menu and include the matching content to the proper location on the template was a snap.

    Thanks again Hugues,

    I'm going to give this a try soon! Template monster definitely has some nice templates to choose from, and their HTML structure is quite google friendly!
