templates needed

[sinclair]

Hello,
I would like to know of resources for church web design templates BESIDES the ones that Template Monster offers (and their resellers). I want to see some new and different designs then the ones I see everybody offering that are the same ones Template Monster offers.

Thank you,
Sinclair

These aren't church specific, but great resources for website templates:

Open Source Web Design (http://www.oswd.org/)

Open Web Design (http://www.openwebdesign.org/)

All of my sites are at least based off of a template from one of those. I guess I'm just not too much of a designer myself.

Hi Sinclair,

Nice looking templates, in my opinion. Not free -- they cost $50 or so each.

Free templates are likely to be over used.

Yea, the free ones can be overused, but it's usually pretty easy to alter them into something original. For example:

Original: Plain 1.0 (http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2087/)
Altered: If Jesus Had A Website (http://www.ifjesushadawebsite.net/)

Original: Leaves (http://www.oswd.org/design/preview/id/2450)
Altered: South Pittsburgh Assembly of God (http://www.southpittag.org/)

Original: andreas04 (http://www.openwebdesign.org/viewdesign.phtml?id=2346&referer=%2Fuserinfo.phtml%3Fuser%3DAndreas)
Altered: Further Up And Further In (http://further.gregnilsen.com)

The last one doesn't have as many changes, but still enough to give it a slightly different feel.

I'm really support of greg's style. The design you are looking for is most likely already been made, all you have to do is find it and tweak a little.
