Templatemonster launches drupal templates.
Jax - April 25, 2008 - 14:28
I just noticed thate Templatemonster now has drupal templates (http://www.templatemonster.com/drupal-themes.php). This is great news for small businesses that want a goodlooking site at an affordable price.
Before I let them pick any template but the cost of converting it was never really cheap. Although I also recently discovered http://www.psd2html.com/order-now.html which would make that more affordable. Anyone has any experience with this last service?

PSD2HTML.com service
Hello there,
We are PSD2HTML.com and would like to add some comments on this topic.
PSD2HTML.com will implement your design for a variety of popular software like Drupal, Wordpress, Movable Type, Joomla, Pligg, Blogger, X-Cart, and others. As a result you get a credible, modern site platform done on an open-source CMS.
If you provide an access to the server we'll be able to install a theme. Otherwise we can send a full dump of the site in addition to a theme, including the database. The implementation of additional modules and plug-ins as well as a creation of customized functionality is also possible. All we need is your design.
You are welcome to read some feedbacks about our service here: http://drupal.org/node/242847
Some Additional Input
Hi Jax, just some comments worthy of note. The benefit of the code production services out there is that they are going to provide a theme for your specific needs and wants. The template sites play a slightly different role because they save you time if you happen to find a design template that works for your need. So if you have some custom artwork and you need it masterfully implemented into Drupal, you can save a lot of time getting things done by using a code production service. I hope this helps. There are many ways to skin a cat. :)
Review of TM's Drupal themes
We recently took a look under the hood of a couple of TemplateMonster Drupal themes and weren't too impressed :\ Just a warning.. also check the comments there.
The good news is that if you just treat them as a Photoshop mockup to work from, it's much more appealing ;)

TemplateMonster Drupal Themes
Actually since the 1st release we've made a lot of fixes based on comments of our customers and now our drupal themes are much more reliable to drupal developers and casual users. We've also released 5 free well optimized themes which we would like to share with Drupal community (they would be contributed within 5 days or so) so keep in touch with us.
BTW all your comments about our drupal themes you could send to(promo (doggy) templatemonster.com)

Personally not very impressed w/Template Monster
I´ve looked under the hood as well and, with all due respect, I´m just not very impressed. Even just on a casual glance I wasn´t very impressed (hence why I wanted to look under their hood) because they, honestly, all look alike, design-wise. They all seem to have the same layout, login in the same place, etc. It just feels like the same person just cranked ´em out only changing colors & images.
Don´t get me wrong, I know Template Monster is one of the industry heavyweights & I definitely appreciate their contributions of themes to our Drupal community. I was just expecting more variety from such a huge site.
Now a template site that I´m *really* impressed with is www.themeforest.com. They have a variety of really well-designed templates, in general. However, they only have 2 Drupal themes as of this writing (1 for 5.x & 1 for 6.x). It would be really awesome if that community got nudged to create more Drupal templates.
The service that I´m *really* looking to try out is www.psd2cssonline.com. Seems pretty straight-forward- upload your .psd file & they´ll convert it to clean css. Since I haven´t tested it, I´m not sure how it would work for Drupal but I loved the idea when I first read about it. :)
Just my $0.02,

templatemonster
I don't know the reason but all drupal themes have a old fashion look, i check out the templatemonster drupal themes and while joomla or wordpress look like web2 professionnal templates, the drupal templates seems always to come from the past.
