Of course, web application design and programming is one big industry. I don’t expect 10K for a template, but personally, I think a well thought of, search optimized and usable template should be worth at least $800, isn’t it?

I don’t really think that people should be paying much for these the real money is in website applications design you throw in a design with it you can get payed Â£10k +.
I know a couple of people doing application designing and their is much more money in it rather than just making a template for a open source application.

Hey John,

You have a good point there. In fact, releasing a WordPress theme is one way to build links to your blog.

Once you got alot of free resources that are free, people are unlikely to pay for something. Just like our TODAY newspaper, they started out free but if you want to start charging people, I don’t think the response will be good.

It does not mean it had no value just that in the first place they had launch it for free which is the issue.
