free Templates vs paid Templates

[alienator]

I have seen to many websites offering free templates, and they did not look that bad to me!! I have even used a few in my websites and they are working...well...just fine

You can always say there will be a gazillion sites with the same template you have, but free templates can be customized and than you will have an original one. My question is: can you convince me why one should spend money on templates when one can have decent ones for free?

I my self have never paid for a template I will normly make one my self or like you said edit a free one

but then agai I would pay for one if it was really good and a one off

Marianne,

To answer your question, "Why would a site give away free templates?"

In a word, traffic. You get a lot of buzz from providing free webmaster tools (especially in forums where posts are viewed more highly than ads).

Does this make sense?
