 * I am a webdesigner looking to code my first ecommerce WP site. Just some questions
   what you recommend…
 * Should I purchase an ecommerce theme and use the plugins, shopping cart, etc.
   provided? I am not finding any themes I really love?
 * Should I purchase a regular theme and then implement an ecommerce plugin with
   a shopping cart? How hard is that? Does this really work?
 * Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of either?
 * Also this is for an art gallery so they want it looking very high end and more
   of a gallery to purchase from then a shopping cart site, so the ecommerce themes
   are not looking like the best fit…can anyone recommend a theme?
 * Thanks!!!

 * May want to try the Suffusion theme for it’s versatility, options and support
   with WooCommerce for it’s ease of use.

 * You’re probably best to decide on which ecommerce plugin you want to use first.
   Then see if there are any suitable existing themes that already include support/
   functionality for that particular ecommerce plugin. If not you can find a suitable
   theme and add the ecommerce functionality into the theme.
