I am new to PostNuke, which I am using as my CMS as well as AutoTheme, which I just installed on my site:

bgchemical.com

I have read the docs that came with AutoTheme and it seems to me that the diff. b/t a Theme and a Template is that there is not a whole lot of customization that can be incorporated into an existing theme, but on the other hand a template you have more ability at customization.

If that is the case as a business site I am leaning towards going with a Template. From there you would convert that template to be an AutoTheme? Where do I find information on how to change colors, add graphics, etc. etc.

If this is going to be too much work for me alone who do I loop in to help?

A theme is a fully functional theme that you just copy to your site in order to use. A theme is fully customizable in the way that you can easily modify any of the HTML (add images, remove images, change text, change colors, change the placement of everything. A template is normally a Photoshop or similar graphics template that can be exported to HTML to use for a theme. It is customizable in the way that you can actually modify the images, such as changing text on the individual images, colors, etc. change gradients, lighting, shadows, masks etc.
