Hello. I need to build a new e-shop. I have a simple question that may not be easy to answer. What is the best Templatebuilder for VM?

I have experience with Joomlashine and have been working with Astroid or Olympianthemes for the last two years. I tried the T3 Framework and now I'm testing Gantry. I read a lot of comparative tests between frameworks, but none was evaluated when used with Virtuemart.

Do you have any experience?

because:
1. I don't want to have all sites similar to egg eggs. I have used Olympus many times.
2. I don't want to buy a license every year because of updates
3. And that is the main thing. . . I do not want to edit, but to create.

Do You think you will get away free ???
Do You really think You will find a free solution that is 100% maintained?
Do You give away Your work ?

No.

Please stay on topic. . . The best Template framework for VM?

If I use Olymp more than once, I have to adjust it. When I edit it, each tempalte update deletes my edits. I can make modifications by rewriting the template using custom.css, but this is a solution for noobs :) Therefore I want to build custom templates using the framework. A framework that I use on every website, not just an ecommerce like Olymp.

So please don't take my word for it that I don't want to pay for updates every year. I just don't want to work this style and I'm looking for something else :)

all the same "template" that was from memory originally Spyros's Olympian Horme -- styling has nothing to do with frameworks - it is just a combination of css, html and images

if u look at the source you will see all css is identical EXCEPT the templates/gjc_j3_vxx/css/custom.css
