I did not - mine is very simple so I just tweak /change - but I about to - I'm sure it will be awsome
There are some really good free ones out there, but if you want to go for paid ones, its fine. Its more original and professional
I use to use a lot of free ones, but most of them would be coded in tables. This made me recode the entire back end of it to make it work the way I wanted it to. Just using their graphics to do it. Now I do all my own stuff.
I know what you mean. I get the point sometimes where I just don't know what I want in a website. Even if I create a nice design, about 70% of the time I won't like it. I end up paying someone with a better sense of website design to develop my site.
I don't see the point in paying when their are so many good free templates out there. They are a great starting point for your design and can be shaped into what you want your website to look like.
I never yet but you get some great results if you know a great person. Some people designed my friends website a days ago: http://www.trendyhost.com/
The people who did the design for your friend's website are very good. I can tell they know what they're doing by looking at how neat the code is.
I can check for you guys if you like. I will just send my friend a message right now and will tell you guys the reply. I will have an answer for you guys sometime today. If you want to contact the desginer then use this: http://www.trendyhost.com/
yes he is. I contacted him and he told me if anyone is interested in designs to just contact him through the site.
I mainly try and create them myself. However I rather have one custom to my site compared to widely used, therefore I would pay for it.
