    I asked for a review a few months back and I got a lot of suggestions. I have made some improvements.

    Tell me what you think of the site:

    I like how you display the themes, with ratings.

    With your title I'd flip it to Page Subject then Site Name (ie: Free Website Templates | TemplateBasics)

    best theme collection .. This site has a rating on the theme, and this helps me in selecting a good design

    The templates look great!
    I would suggest changing YOUR OWN template. It looks too simple for a template site.
    good luck!

    Thanks for all the feedback so far. We're working on a logo right now. As for the design being simple we wanted to keep it that way and focus on the content of the site!

    Other than the logo do you feel any functions/features are missing? How can we make it even better for users to find templates?

    Site looks good. Without trying to download anything, I was left wondering about what a premium download is.

    A premium download is a template which has a cost per download or a membership fee. We think its important to list both free and paid templates so users can find what they need.

    This looks very good. I would add some sort of logo, as others have said, and I would change the menu bar to a differnt color because it seems out of place.

    The template is nice but I agree with the other folks who have said a custom logo will really set this thing apart.

    Get a well designed one and you'll notice a world of difference!

    Keep up the good work.

    BTW the site is designed for 1024x768 resolution. It looks best on 1280x1024.
