Hi all
I am a newbie to using the web for my business, but I am a competant computer user.

AFter spending 100's of hours trying to find a suitable template for my simple needs and becoming fustrated by the overwhelming volume of stuff out there I was after some advice on how get some specific guidance.

I am only a small business so I understand I have to do a lot of the leg work my self as payment to IT consultants is beyond me.

However I have no problem in paying for a pre packaged product if it does the job.

my domain is hosted with an ISP - linux server

QUESTION
Is there a forum that I can describe my needs to and they just say. Well look at these templetes they might do the job.

Hope I am not out of line here

http://www.oswd.org is where I get my templates for site. They are pretty simple and not that impressive since they don't use images or flash, but they get the job done.

When you spend those 100's of hours by learning PHP, you would now be writing your own stuff :wink:

No you wouldn't, I've coded over 500 hours, and I still don't code my own templates 1/2 the time. Wayyy too lazy.

I usually have someone else make the layout for me.
