Based on your Design.. I would use Brialliance.. You can add sidebars and it has almost everything you need in your design. Or you could pay someone to do it :0

well thanks edmundk i have tested and checked all the templates available for download in Skinning section all of them are greatly developed for the needs of the VA owners but my main motive is to make my own custom template which is not look alike the templates already in use by many Virtual Airlines on net but thanks for your kind suggestion brother.

Anyone else have something for me any suggestion which will work in making css based templates from scratch.

looking forward for the replies

Have a Good Day

No problem! But rembember if you are trying to port a skin, you need to convert the Html file to a .tpl file

yea i got the idea of converting the html files into .tpl from help documents thanks to jeff and Tom for now i just need some html and css tutorials websites from where i can learn making templates from scratch i have also Google but with no luck didn't got any helpful website.

if anyone have suggestions for me please post here i am looking forward to it.
