Hey all, So I'm more comfortable all the time with using Magento, more I read, and Ryan said, "Its great, I have been using it for over 2 years very flexible platform very easy to manipulate, and the end user admin is second to none mate." ... "Mate?"... Are there Aussies on this list? ;) Anyway, what about skinning this animal. If I install it will our designer be able to put the site's custom look and feel into it? Ryan, what do you think?
