    When you say Theme,.. do you actually mean niche?

    haha.

    Well talking about niches...
    You can basically go for barely untouched ones, saturated ones, or something in between.
    Of couse the more untouched, the better. However the resources you will be able to get are gonna be hard to aquire as well.
    Which type are you going to go for...?

    Maybe give us more information about what interest you tend to lean on..

    What CMS apps have you been looking at or have you not gotten to that point yet?

    You're going about this in the wrong order. Nobody can say what CMS system you should use, or if you should use one. First select a niche, and work out how often it will need updating etc. If it needs updating daily and you arent great with html then its an easy desision to go with wordpress or something. If the site wont need editing once its done, then you would probably be better with a nicely designed html/css site.

    Choose what you want to do first, then we can give you an idea of how to proceed.

    If you are a good designer and familiar with coding HTML PHP Java Flash etc yes design it yourself because then it is a truly unique website.

    I wish you the best of luck with your website and hope it goes as you plan.

    If you are not good with design then defiantly go with the CMS as you can get some lovely templates for them which you can modify yourself.
