I never said I had to have exclusive rights to it. I just want something that fits my site and won't break the bank.
First I must say I never even respond to treads like this-"custom phpld design wanted-xx$ budget" but I want something to say now. You want unexclusive template created by your needs. Why do you think someone else would buy a copy made by your needs? I suggest you to find free template and pay someone to modify it for your needs. You would still have to keep link to original author, though. About how much you are ready to pay: When I make custom designs, I work 7-10 days, 6-10 hours per day. I will pay you xx$ to only to sit on your chair and look at the screen for that time. Someone who change few images and css clases from default template migh take your even low XX, so be smart with decisions on your budget.
do a search for the available free templates < yes there are some good ones > and I guess they will fit in your site ..atleast have a look
I dont understand why this thread has so much discussion. A person is looking for custom template and has a budget of $100. Sounds great! He is out of budget for me, but somebody else who can make him a template within that budget range, will contact him.
