Touching on some comments throughout this thread, lots of talk of always doing a dark and light theme.
I love your designs, and you can see the attention being paid to the small details.....I however believe that all of the design this year have been taken to the extremes of light or dark....there doesn't seem to be an in-between. I've been developing websites for over 10 years now and there are not many templates that I believe I could have used as is for ANY of the clients that I have developed websites for, as they are either to light or to dark.
As I said, I love your designs, but I believe there is always a lot of work involved to style your sites for commercial purposes. One template that is a mixture of dark and light is Car Magazine. I have read many people reference this design as an example of a site that you should do more of.
I can see that the designs of 2010 are trying to break the normal boundary's of a typical website, fixed width design with fixed and very noticeable borders etc. I do appreciate that you look outside of these boundary's.
I would like to some templates that use both light and dark...and if this is done correctly, then there will be NO need to create a light and dark theme, as you will have both in one design.
Use of more color would be nice as well, but to much color can make the site look limited to a certain market for the in experienced web developer....
If you would ever like someone to help with proposals for websites and the development of sites, them please contact me as I would love to help!
Yes we can create our own styles etc, but for me, I choose to use templates so that I don't have to spend to much time on the template, thus reducing the cost of sites I develop and reducing how long I spend on each project.
EDIT: One last thing, the other problem I see with the light themes of recent, you have to have a relatively new LCD, LED, etc screen to see the different light shades you use. Older screens simply can't show a higher enough contrast. On many screens you can't see any difference between the light shades you use in MyStore for example... whether or not this matters, I just thought I would mention it...
