Oh man, you have no idea how helpful this is. I'm working on a web app myself, and design is my biggest hangup... I've thought about hiring someone, but not sure I can justify the expense. For some reason I didn't consider seeking out premium themes like this.

Looks like there's a lot of great stuff on ThemeForest... only problem now is the paradox of choice. Too many good themes to choose from.

There's also http://www.freecsstemplates.org/ which is, as the name says, free.

Thanks for pointing that out. In this case though, I think you get what you pay for. Most of those don't look nearly as good as the Themeforest stuff.

There's another site along these lines that used to be pretty good -- Open Source Web Design (http://www.oswd.org/). Unfortunately they stopped updating it several years ago.

See, this is the crux of the matter for me: would I rather mess around with a truly free template to get it looking decent, or pay someone the huge amount of $20 to have it instantly. Obviously, by and large, the latter wins.
