Guy,
I love drupal flexible etc...
but man the templates sucks! let's be honest here.
the main reason why i still even take a look at joomla is because of these guys http://demo.rockettheme.com/ can someone try to match them please!
I am so surprise that the templating in drupal doesn't match the efficiency of it.
IS THERE A DRUPAL THEME DESIGNER THAT CAN BE UP TO THE TASK

Drupal Themes
Of course there are Drupal themers who can crank out awesome themes (they aren't called templates). Surely you've looked through Drupal's documentation and seen links to:
Seems there are tons of themers up to the task. Are you?
Wow well i am not a themer
Wow
well i am not a themer or even a good designer. that why i used joomla because easy to implement you don't need to be an awesome designer. now when you mix joomla and rockettheme well the result speak for themself. the template at rocketthe are just beyond anything i ve seen and i am not just talking about the front end the backend is wow. ability to change the loonk of the site , themes etc.. with just clicks even someone that do not know anything about coding can use them. BUT I FELL IN LOVE WITH DRUPAL AT THE CMS . I HAVEN'T really found anybody that can really matches them in design and price. i saw a site that sell advanced drupal themes but the price my god $250 and up for just one theme and their theme looks good but not close to rockettheme
while rocketheme you I paid last time i think $50 for the WHOLE YEAR unlimited download with them adding one new theme every month and when you add the fact that these are so advance that each of them with just clicks can give you on average 25 different look of your site well should i even continue.
I love drupal , but we need to make better drupal theme affordable and accessible to the general public.
i saw a lot of great them in the showcase but when they explain you what they did to achieve that level of design , well someone like me i easily discourage to even try.
I dunno
Hi wallbay1,
I am unaware of an subscription-based unlimited download source of Drupal themes.
Blessings!

Yes, there are many
Hey wallbay1,
There are many great Drupal themers. Check out Mustard Seed Media's Portfolio.
It was Mustardseed who Dries Buytaert (yes, that Dries...you can follow the link in the footer of this page to find out more about him) chose to implement his theme for Mollom.com.
Blessings!

Although I don't know who designed them, you can see other high-profile Drupal sites here: http://buytaert.net/tag/drupal-sites
Here are some nice free themes
These aren't as polished looking as the rocketthemes you linked to, but they are free and very customizable:
Roopletheme has some nice, free, highly flexible themes (with many regions):
http://demo.roopletheme.com/
See also here for a list of some 2 and 3 column themes:

http://mashable.com/2007/10/04/drupal-3-column-themes/
My only issue/request is something that is powerful like the roople themes, yet has more support for image banners and image-based blocks, like you see in these 2 themes, which look nice but hardly have any regions:
http://drupal.org/project/marinelli
http://drupal.org/project/sky

I think what the previous comment is trying to convey is that. It's really not that difficult to build a theme or convert a theme. You just have to invest some time in learning to do so. Expecting people who've built a theme for their own site, which equates to branding their site, doesn't always mean they have to, or should make their theme downloadable. There are tutorials, tools & plenty of documentation available on d.o. and around the internet.
Drupal themes in the contrib area may seem"plain" at first glance beore you realize they are a blank canvas, a wirefrom which allows you to manipulate them the way you see fit.
Don't be afraid you get your feet wet. The water isn't cold.

ok I understood that
ok I understood that part.
well i am not really a good coder and quite frankly doesn't much time . but I understand the value of good theme and willing to pay if need too. I just wanted to know if they are available even if they are not free

create a mock up & hire a themer in the paid services forum.
