I find that YooTheme templates are easy to use, clean, and more suitable for business sites.

I think you are looking for a theme that instantly makes your sites look perfect without any work. be cautious about this - you use any template as a starting point and adapt it to your needs - if you wanted a theme to do all of that instantly i feel like you'd pay a LOT more than 90 bucks a year for 4 years of 1.5x templates. I'm not trying to be mean here - but lets put some valuation to the money you spent on the theme. if you made a theme like they make, and wanted all the perfection you're asking for - i think you'd be paying more like 500 a theme. so in seriousness - have we forgotten the valuation factor? what do you value the bump in progress that a less than a 100 bucks a year theme subscription gives you? knowning that the theme bases aren't for everyone - but for a small church or organization to get the look that a theme (from any of the vendors like rockettheme) gives you it's priceless. oh and one more thing - in the demo site and all the PDF's and source files - it says how to do everything, quite simply too. personally i view any template as a springboard ... not an end product - what do you think? -- Dan Horning American Digital Services - Where you are only limited by imagination.
