1. All the premade skins I find just show the forum skin, wheres the CMS skin? If I purchase this will it design the Front page in the style of the skin that I purchase?

2. Most of the skins I do find are around $30, this seems a little cheap, Do you know of any sites that offer skins that aren't plain and cheap?

3. After I find and purchase a skin, Ill have someone who knows better than me, help me install it, I assume all the content will transfer over to the new skin, is this correct?

4. Are the premade purchased skins themselves customizable? If they come with an image, for instance, could I easily change that image, or certain colors of certain sections?

1. Most "reputable" style developers will create a style for the entire SUITE as that will cover the FORUM CLASSIC kwim? . So yes it should cover the CMS, Forums, and Blogs be sure to ask, most sites have a Contact Us link or some form where you can send a message, never hurts to be safe rather then sorry .

2. Actually that's about right on par if you think about it... if you ask for a custom theme, only for your site that is not to be resold then you would see quite a high price otherwise a developer creates a quality skin and decides to release it for a low or "acceptable" price in hopes of selling more to the masses and making more than simply doing a few custom styles.

3. Actually most skins come with simple documentation. The average style installation consist of uploading the images files and installing the product after that it should be fully usable so you in fact could install a style .

4. Yes, any pre-made/purchased skin even the free styles offered here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=212 are customizable after the fact. *The only thing you cannot remove is branding i.e. if the Styles Creator is vBstylemakers12345 and they have placed a link at the bottom of the style saying "Style by vBstylemakers12345" then you CANNOT remove it w/o following their guidelines for removal if any exist.

Hope that helps, anything more don't hesitate to post .
