Title: TemplateMonster.com

One remark from my side: I have used templates from Templatemonster because my customers liked them. I have to say that most of them totally lacked basic coding and implementation best practices. For example the classes and styles in the style sheets that came along with the files were pretty quick and dirty (with enumerated styles like style1, style2, style3) and none of the templates was nearly done in clean html. When it came to cross-browser capabilities, I had to manually go through the html source code of each page and fine tune stuff.   Some templates used images (like spacers, backgrounds, lines, etc.) where CSS would have done a beautiful job, too.   I’d say if you need something the quick and dirty way or just want to reuse the multimedia assets, go for the templates, they are not too expensive. However if maintainability and cross-browser experience is important for you, I’d second what others on the list have already said: Chances are it might be cheaper to just hire a professional web designer.   Regards   Ralf Rottmann | Director Sales & Marketing | VoicInt Telecommunications GmbH m:+49-(0)170-914-5495 | f: +49-(0)231-557402-99 | e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tariq Ahmed Sent: Donnerstag, 8.

It's essentially a zip file with all the raw assets so that you can apply to your own situation (sample HTML code that put all the graphics together, Photoshop files, FLAs,  etc...). As far as I know they don't have anything that would be immediately plug and playable. But if you spend the time you can make your own skins / styles / etc... based on the package. But it'll be great in the future when people start publishing full fledged Flex themes that can be easily applied.
