Pay or modify a theme?

Do you prefer to buy a theme or modify a free theme? Since I don't have enough money to buy paid themes I prefer to modify free templates.

 

I rather buy a paid one, but I dont think is that important to have a custom made theme. But yea I modified this theme.

 

Depends, if you can afford one. If I want one professionally I would pay if not then just modify. But this one looks amazing and this was modified.

 

It's much better to modify a theme, you can make it the way you want without spending a cent.

 

id myself would either buy a theme or pay for one to be designed and coded.

More Unique.

 

Wish I had the tallent to mod a theme!

 

Not hard its pretty easy.

 

Easy for you to say.
Seriously, I dont get it, I've tried.

 

lol well i guess you just gotta mess around.

 

Modify. If you know HTML it is the easiest and cheapest thing to do. (And good at making graphics )

 

As a skin designer, I would prefer y'all paid, lol. But as an owner, I know that isn't always possible which is how/why I got into designing my own skins years ago and I release free themes

 

lol

 

I make my own theme, but in gamingislands hand, I had this skin made and sold to only gamingisland by a company called shape5

 

If you're an artist then you always go for the Custom theme. You're forum should showcase you're talents weather it be designs or like many unique topics.

 

Agreed. Very true.

 

I try and do them myself as my users aren't after anything fancy, just colour variations usually suit them fine

 

Try and do your own if not you have do decide what is best for you and your site as to which way you will go.
