A canned website doesn’t have to be horrible

I’m putting together some new marketing websites and need to come up with a design.  I can either pay a designer or find a premade template.  In past years, website templates have looked very unprofessional.  I started looking around at the current state of website templates and am impressed with the stylish xhtml/css options at Template World.  They offer some solid free selections, I’m going ahead with the $50 bucks for the members section since the templates are so good.

Adding some spices

With any of the templates I pick here, I’m going to take a little time to tweek things.  Template World doesn’t take the same approach as other template sites.  They offer a relatively small number of higher end templates rather than countless thousands of low end templates like the other guys.  So I’m not going to be able to find a template that has everything where I want it but with a little css work and some istock photo shopping I’m get something really slick.
