*Exactly* - your above comment, taken in context with the original
post I was replying to, highlights exactly what I said: that for some
the likes of Template Monster can sometimes work out cheaper than
actually designing it. I've never used a Template Monster design for a
client, only for personal projects, but that is because my clients are
actual designers and it's their job to do that pesky Photoshop stuff
:)

Heh, nice.. for most of us though our limit is a little lower than
$1000 - but I see his point.
Best regards,
