I've been a member here for a couple of years now and do not get my templates from anywhere else because you can't get any better than here. However, in the last few months the templates are getting more and more technical and including more complicated functions incorporating things like twitter etc. This is all very well but a lot of us don't use this type of stuff so $300 a year is just not worth it if none of the new templates suits your needs. I tend to use the older templates as they give you more flexibility to create a website that Joe Bloggs would want, rather than all singing all dancing. Catalyst, versatility, these are both cracking Templates that I use more than any of the new ones. if you can compare these type of templates to nearly all of the ones that have been produced this year, they are rather like comparing a family saloon to 2 door sports car. One is more practical than the other. .
Anyway, that's just my opinion for what it's worth - http://www.Oscarfishlover.com - the website for great Oscar Fish advice and help

I enjoy the expanding complexity as the web is constantly expanding. My gripe is I like to customize a template to a very tweaked design and feel limited that I can't get a module to be pixel perfect acuratly placed every time. I struggled for 3 day to try to get the RokTabs module to but up to the bottom of the FPSS on
www.house808.com
and nothing did it. It has to get that gap from somewhere, however no change gets them to be aligned together. That gets me, the invisibly of maybe some settings, or the sheer un explain ability of why it is what it is.
Love ya Rockettheme, keep those transparent templates comming... so pretty if one knows how to work it.

- Retired, but build and run websites for organisations of school leaders and others - e.g. http://www.icponline.org, http://www.aspa.asn.au, http://www.appa.asn.au
- I'd like an update to Chromatophore - same simple design but with the extra built-ins and module positions.

yes, totally agree. Maybe improve some of the older templates.
At the end of the day I think it depends on what sort of website you are constructing. I like constructing websites that have a nice banner heading. I find a lot of the older templated easier to work with. Some of the newer templates don't give you much scope to actually add your own headings, unless you strip all the coding/CSS out and start again which really defeats the benefits of joining a template club. - http://www.Oscarfishlover.com - the website for great Oscar Fish advice and help
