Default Premade Templates?

Has anyone ever thought of using premade templates and just redoing all the graphics to avoid the hassle of coding them?

No I'd rather make it from scratch and do the extra work. No point using someone elses free template.

I tried grabbing up a free template once, for one of my personal projects, but gave up on the idea and went back to making the site from scratch. It doesn't appeal to me at all.

The most I'll do is grab the color combo from a template I like and build something original using those colors.

I just havnt had gopod experience with them. Found it easier and more convient (and unique) to make my own.

I would probably use templates more if I didn't see the same ones over and over on every template site I visit.

I have never done it, although some times i do get very tempted to just buy one of templatemonster.com or a similar site, as they are such high quality!
But you know that it will not be unique, and generally you will get the best results if you do it yourself

I design my own templates when it comes to sites. If we're talking about forums, then I chose a skin I like, download and then recreate the header in photoshop, code and use it. I still use some of the elements, but also make my own graphics. This makes them look unique and appealing.

I'm not to keen on premade templates. Like my websites to be custom made.

I like to do it from scratch , but my problem is graphics. I plan to learn it soon enough. I dont really like templates which are out there. May be just me.
