I want to start to learn how skins are made so I can start to do it for myself on html/ and css mockups I make. Where can I find html versions of all the skins on web empowered church?

If you're already on your site and running a non-Windows host, you can go to the "Site Config" menu, select the "Select Site Skin" menu item, and copy a skin with which to play around. That should drop a complete copy of that skin into the fileadmin/templates/skins/ folder by default or wherever you set your custom skins to be stored in the Extensions - templavoila_framework - "information" area.

From there, you can play around with the CSS that drives the skin which is probably the easiest way to modify the behavior. I can't speak as much for the HTML, but all of the files will be in that copied skin so you can do whatever you want from that point and not affect the installed skin. This is probably the best way to mess around with the skins because an update to the skin on which you're working would remove all of your changes on upgrade.
