Chances are the $19 and the free site will be a very simple one.

Almost all the 'samples' given are sites probably database driven.

When I was a web developer we would go to some of these free shops and 'test' what they offered. Most of the time by the time you priced the extras we were still competitive.

Too bad they only show 1 sample - a nice one at that. If all (or most) of the 90+ templates are of that quality, it'd be a sweet deal. DQuan can you confirm ?

I've sampled a few template sites and the quality is pretty poor (simple and thoughtless) on most of them, save for templatemonster.com. Their templates are consistently well designed, but the price is also up there.

Just scroll further down the home page. You can see all of them.

And herein begins the dilution of raw design talent for the web. ;)

Interesting... I may pick this up as well. I don't have time / skills to design my own, I'll just modify/tweak one of these a little bit.

so let me get this straight. this is in psd
meaning these are sliced into various PSD files? A huge graphic file, just pieced together like a puzzle?
no html coding involved?
