Comments and Testimonials about this eBook
"I came across this site while I was looking for advice on how to optimise oscommerce, I was looking for tips on how to create good looking and functioning site myself as apposed to using templates. Within a week I managed to put together a site for my client that they were very happy with and even picked up some help with css. For only 10 pounds the book is a bargain, I have used dreamweaver for years and have no understanding of php coding whatsoever and I still managed to produce the site exactly as I had designed."
"I have now purchased all 4 of your oscommerce tutorial books - I must say how useful they are and very easy to understand. It was a painless learning process and gives me more confidence to ?attack? other parts of the oscommerce code."
"Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thanks for the ?Designing? osC book. I?ve just had a handover meeting with my client who is delighted with the site ... (it?s not live until we finalise the SSL stuff) She is now busily populating the site with games, and I?m refining the images. Your book has helped me do more with osC than I thought possible. I?d started off trying to use the templating systems, but I?ve learned much more through delving through the PHP code. I?ve implemented most of the recommendations in your book, added some more contributions and now have as osC store I feel proud of rather than a stock osC site with a new stylesheet."
"What looks set out to be a highly daunting task to redesign oscommerce has turned out to be a very enjoyable one. For only ?9.99 it saves you the time of scouring around the web for tutorials that assume your already a proffesional with PHP. This book is worth every penny as it equipts you with the skill and knowledge to tackle PHP and oscommerce to bring your sites to that extra level. Those of you still using oscommerce's standard layout should definately check out this great e-book, and gain the credit your site deserve's. 10/10"
"Your Ebook has taken the mystery out of OSC design. Anyone should be able to follow the step-by-step tutorial and create a great Oscommerce website with lots of "EYE CANDY". The fail proof bonus files are a real plus but the advise to "get your hands dirty" manually editing the files will definately encourage additional modifications. With just a little imagination and the tutorial in hand I created a professional design for my site. I'm no longer intimidated by OSC. THANKS!"
"I found the book very informative even with a quick read of each page.
It has all the information I would want and has saved me weeks or even
months of searching the web and the osCommerce forum...I would be very hard pressed to find a better
source for the information."
"Your book is excellent, in the past 30 minutes I have installed Oscommerce, and turned it into a fully functioning store that looks the bee's knees. Ive been meaning to put together a shop for over a year now, but Osc always looked a bit daunting. Thank you for making it easier."
"The thought of altering Oscommerce to change the look of the standard layout, was a little daunting. But after it was suggested to me I try Designing for Oscommerce from oscbooks.co.uk. I read the sample and was hooked. It only cost ?9.99 and have to say it's excellent value.
It's very well written, so someone, like me, with only a small amount of knowledge of HTML can easily do all the necessary modifications. The bonus to how you're guided through the process is that you actually learn. After around 4 hours I managed to do a design that looks nothing like the standard OSC site."
Remember, these are REAL testimonials from REAL people! - they are not made up like we see on many other sites!
