What would you prefer when creating a website?

Would you prefer a template or your own made site?

Well,

In my case, since most of my sites are either blogs/forums or cms. So, that means, all my sites are mostly php based scripts. However, to answer your question... I prefer templates. And, then, I modify these templates to suit my site, and make them different from others. (Provided that the php script is template driven, or has HTML )

Most of the time i try to make my own designs. they are not pretty but that matters to me the most is SEO so im ok with normal design.

I prefer make a good unique template and unique content, in this moment i are using much blogs with wordpress and i try be the most original possible.

It depends. Some sites the layout required is fairly simple anyways and I do it on my own. If it's complex, I'll either find a template or buy a layout from someone else.

i will prefer to buy a template from templatemonster.com i own it that mean i will bay in hundreds but i have right to resell it so i think that the good way to use template safely and no 1 got it ^^
