If not most of us, are just not that savvy to create our own templates. If I could, I would do nothing but create templates day after day after day just for phpld directories. But not knowing the first thing about creating such templates and whatever coding is needed, I--like so many others--have to purchase a template. Of course, if someone real nice (hint hint hint) could teach me?
The price really depends on the quality with so many good free templates if you don’t have a real good template I don’t see a loot of people paying for it.
Too many free templates with too many people using them. <<<<<<see me, hahahahhaha So as I get the money raised up, getting templates one by one for my sites made for me only. Have one being created now for me (damn things cost! since I want full rights with no chance of anybody using the same template).
Fact: Bad phpld templates are a dime-a-dozen. Fact: Good phpld templates are worth paying for. Fact: If you can afford a custom template it is really worth it.
I would never pay for that, but if you wanna do some custom unique design for a directory well it costs way more than just 25$
Obviously - a totally unique custom design can cost anywhere from $100+ I was suggesting more a template design that people would have to pay a specific amount to download and use. The template obviously wldnt be that unique as other people could pay and download it but it would be more unique than a totally free template.
