Recommendations for website template sites?

Posted on November 30th, 2010, by James Yoneda

Rhode Island Tech Advice

I have a bunch of small personal projects that I'd like to look better. I've looked at some online template websites, but they seem to be a dime a dozen, and most seems like rebrands or knockoffs of each other. Also, most of the designs look very generic, and the 10k designs are really 5 different color variations of each design.

Does anyone have recommendations for high-quality template websites? I'm not looking for rock bottom prices, and I know I'm not getting custom-design quality, but I figure there has to be something better out there than what I've seen.

Thanks!

Hi James,

It's been awhile man good to see you on here. My first reccomendation, as a designer, would be to just hire a designer but I understand that working under deadlines can be stressful and having a template site as plan B is a great idea.

Although this post was made over a month ago, I'd like to share a couple of sites that have treated me well in the past (mostly for wordpress):

Themeforest.com - Good for Wordpress,Joomla, even PSD templates

http://www.organicthemes.com/ - wordpress

http://www.pagelines.com/ - wordpress

Hope that helps gets you started.
