Template Monster?

**Bud** · 12-02-10

Is it just me that has a problem with TM?

Some beautiful templates but I can't see them being of any real use. How on earth do you SEO them for a start?

Am I missing something???

Thoughts and ideas appreciated.

Sorry if that's a bit of an oldie Pete :blush

I suppose the thing is I create loads of sites, for myself and others, and have for ages thought they have some great looking templates, but in all that time I haven't managed to find a real life practical use for any of them!

Seems such a shame as I love seeing a stunning site every now and then and without doubt some of the latest offerings are very pleasing.

(Having just read that above, it seems like I'm trying to promote them! Not the case, the fact is they're next to useless, unless as I say, I'm missing something )

Absolutely spot on, most of whats available there belong in the late 90's with exceptions of course.

There is a site that produces exquisite, modern templates at prices that will surprise you, and, currently, there aren't 10,000 copies of each template doing the rounds, more like less than 30 of each design.

There's WP, Joomla, HTML, Drupal and more.

Probably the best templates available anywhere at the price.

WordPress Themes, HTML Templates - ThemeForest

I have no connection with them, other than being a satisfied customer

Haha, I've got nothing against them, I just hadn't heard that name in a while, actually brought a rye smile as, when I was studing at uni some of the stuff they were providing was a bench-mark at times (albeit a flash heavy one), along with guys like wefail and 2advanced

It's amazing how after few years go by things drop off your map (not suggesting that the three I've mentioned have dropped off the map)
