your your your your....
YOU'RE from New York and YOUR grammar sucks!
All that aside, it is a frickin' template. Belive me when I tell you that if you are a good enough designer worth your own salt, theyou you need not fear Template Monster.
I was simply curious if anybody has ever used one. If even just in a bind or to make a quick buck. There is nothing wrong with it.

Maybe this dude works for the company and is trying to talk the legitimate design community into being more accepting of their services. Kinda of like the 2A hosting troll who was excitied about the free t-shirt that came with it.

Designers are next on the list, it all makes sense now.
I admit that was a bit much but I have no filter.

Easy enough to "change up" and mark up on the price.

i didnt even finsh skimming this tread and i am getting a stomach ache.
Sites like Template Monster hurt the industry, dont support them. It just as bad as a soccer mom who designs websites on the side for fun.

Thank you! But, how does giving the client what they want not make for sound business?
In the long-term the best clients will not want "cookie-cutter" solutions and will strive to be unique which keeps the design community strong and thriving!
Therefore, I completely disagree with your comment of the Template Monster route de-valuing design as a business strategy.
Look at the website I put as my "View website" link here on NT! It is complete and utter SHIT! In fact it's NOT my site.
If designers are good and their work speaks for itself the likes of Template Monster is not a scary situation. Not such a monster at all.
Peace!

oy. well, good luck to you. I don't really think it's sound business, especially in the long term when this really de-values design as a business strategy.

I think you are just trolling anyway.

if being desperate is being stoopid....well then, stupid is as stupid does.
The client saw a template on Template Monster. It fits with what they wanted (only missing their specific branding). I was chosen to architecht their branding and to implment the website on a hosting provider of my choice (Media Temple).
And if by "muck it up" you mean to give the client what they want then yes! Yes I did muck it up. Mucked it up enough to earn $7,500 in less than 5 hours.
But then I do not need to preach to you about the basics of business and how to make a buck (although that's not what it's all about for me -- it is nice to pay the mortgage in a comfortable state of mind).
Hey, I did like the cyber tribute to your mom!

If your client is stupid enough to buy a template and then pay you that amount of money to muck it up then I say you deserve one another. I like to see this evolutionary balance in action where the all the stupids end up together in perfect union.

from the looks of your site, i think it would be best if you used template monster anywhos. werd on making some cash though, can't beat it at over a 1000 and hour. i think we've all had those jobs that we killed on, but really for the most part TM is child of satan.
when i am king they will be the first to die.
that is all.......
