I'm considering a purchase from Templatemonster. For the people here who have interacted with TM, how was the experience and product quality? Were you satisfied? I see packages come with a cache of icons / "clipart" - are they decent, and do they match the template you bought? I've also seen Templatemonster resellers selling at a deflated price. Do they include the bells and whistles such as the above mentioned icon pack? Do you have any reseller recommendations? If the product is identical, I may as well save a few dollars going with a reseller. While $50-60 is a negligible investment, I'd still like to get some background info to save myself a potential headache. Thanks!
For the money, TM stuff is pretty good. I'm an affiliate for them, and as fas as I can remember, they give their affiliates the option of reducing the price and getting less commission per sale - in the hope that they'll make more sales. So if you can find somebody selling TM stuff for less than anyone else, buy it - you'll be getting exactly the same stuff as if you were paying full price.
Okay, just bought the template. Upon preliminary inspection, the bundled clipart appears to be junk (unless you're living in 1995). The HTML looks mediocre but the .PSD files are there which is the main thing. I'll slice and code it myself. I wasn't expecting sheer brilliance for 65 USD, so I'm fairly happy with it.
Yep. What you're basically getting is a license to legally use the design - and the PSDs. The code is never spectacular - but if you don't know any html at all, then it's better than nothing
