Default Same design template but unique content?

We are currently developing a range of separate websites dedicated to serve each target market of the business. Does anybody know whether Google penalises sites that use the same design template/structure yet even if the content on all the sites is absolutely unique and there is no cross linking to each other?

I don't think so. There are 1000+ websites out there using Oscommerce or other shopping carts and they do very well in SE.

google replies on content moreso than design. bare in mind, google also indexes IP address to see if websites are the same(ie. if they are the same owner, they will be on the same server).

make sure meta content, at least, is unique for each site.

this might do the job: if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

What will you be using to create the website.
Just simple HTML?
or will you be using PHP? or a CMS?

You could block the search engines from indexing these pages.

Think Wordpress and it's various themes. Your site shouldn't have a problem.

Wordpress has loads of installs and many use the same template but different content. They rank fine if they are worked on like any other site.
