Yeah, I’m a fan of templates myself, as you know that they work on different browsers and have been tested — if you choose the right ones.

In an ideal world, a clients budget would enable me to create one from scratch, but for me, this would take too much time and hence cost the client more money.

And like you said, customization can go a long way, and you’d never notice. ‘At the end of the day’, every web-designer is building upon someone else’s “work”. Even custom/from scratch designs and code are built upon code specifications, with WordPress custom designs, built with pre-existing .php

Thanks for commenting George…

Although personally I'm a Joomla fan I also highly prefer to work with an existing template to have some structure, and even when designing a simple static site I like to start with something that already exists and then modify away. What I end up with never looks anything like what I started with but it gives me something to go by when getting going. I'll have to try Wordpress for one of my new sites some day soon, as there seem to be a vast amount of really cool templates for it and some of the features are just amazing. Thanks for sharing!
