If you’re using opencart and looking for a nice responsive theme, check out Sellegance or Shoppica 2. I prefer Sellegance, the developer has but great about fixing any issues and even integrating 3rd party extensions. Shoppica 2 might be the most widely used open cart theme. Many extensions have special versions to comply with Shoppica’s so it might save you a few headaches over Sellegance in that regard.
