There are quite a few professional site builders on this forum. We use Gavick and other templates to get the low to med cost sites out the door quicker. I just don't need to waste time building a template from the frame up unless I have to. With that being said knowing what type of template coming down the pipe helps to decide if I want to wait for a new template or use one from the pool of available template sites that I belong to.
When I have to stall a client or my work flow to see if Gavick has a template worth using, that costs me money. Usually I lose more per month in time than my lifetime subscription cost. I dont know why the details of the templates are held like CIA secret handshakes and I really don't care. But this BULLSHT is getting old, If Joomlart can display a demo of their templates a week before release, then the only reason Gavick can't is because there is nothing to show, meaning your developement is slow as hell and the customers are suffering because of it... FIX IT! Not an April fools joke......
