Hello all,
Finally join the Rocket Club and very happy to have done so.
However, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the templates available and I'd like some advice on choosing one for my site.
My site is waterportal.org . It is mostly a source of information targeted at professional and academics related to the Water world: engineers, teachers, researchers, students, etc ...
As you can see, the current template is VERY standard
so I'd like a template that presents information clearly, and whose navigation is accessible easily.
My original choice was Elixir 2.0, but now I'm mixed Vortex looks very good.
What's your opinion? Is there any that would be more suitable for my type of content and public?
If a template is more recent than an other, is it better coded / have more functions / etc ... ?
Thanks for any help!

vortex is a beauty but in my opinion just doesn't suit your 'academic'?? theme.
the same with sporticus and trooper.
elixer, pixel perfect, and the versatile 'versatility ii' and igazette would go well i think. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

Thanks GollumX.
I had a look at those you mentionned, but I think I will settle for Carnoation for now.
iGazette is a great template, but I don't have updates often enough to justify a newspaper type of layout. Maybe later?

- Sebastien, I would suggest you change the 3-ball logo to YOUR logo for the site. That would make it smashing!

- Looks like you have already chosen a theme but I would go with Elixer ... But you may well find an educational theme released this month who knows. I see a number of people requesting it (maybe wait a few days just in case)

Dan, the 3 ball logo was already my new logo when I started looking at a theme. It looked like this:

Now I don't have the talent of the designers here, so if that's ok with the author I may use his instead. I haven't made my mind up yet though.
David, now I'm curious to see what you guys are gonna come with. I can't wait very long actually because I'm relocating for a new job soon (who know what my internet connection will be in Israel lol!) so I need everything sorted before I go.

I think I'll avoid that, especially given that I will be 30km from the Gaza strip lol! - Current test site:
