Customizing

I'm creating a new site and need some help wrangling some of the aspects of Commerce.
I've also never set up a site that needed any rules before and am having some hurdles getting what I want programmed.
Lastly, I can't code to save my life and would really like some help customizing the theme.
If you're able to help please e-mail me for further details, david@technospider.com

I recently posted over here http://drupal.org/node/337797, about a different approach to themeing in Drupal. I wanted to get the opinion of this group, because it is comprised of everybody that would potential be using this concept.

I vote for really hammering out all the ideas, before beginning and not rushing this if you think this is a good idea, or at least the beginning of a good idea. So long story short, I'm thinking Drupal 8.
