I think I know what you all are saying.

Let me offer this:
You have to step back from being the developer for a moment. As a developer you are 'geeked' on the "super cool"; "hype"; "upper level"; "graphic intense"; "rockin'" plates. I get that!...and so am I.

However if you you really think about it, most of your clients have tastes that are more in line with this "type" of template. Most businesses tend to shy away from the "whiz-bang" looking websites, at least that's been my experience. I guarantee you that a doctors medical site; or breast cancer awareness; a construction site; government presence; or churches... etc, will think that customers wouldn't take them seriously with all the "laser blasting color" going on.

Andy and the gang have laid out all the stops on the futuristic "gamer" and "media" plates and they have been HOT, but truth be told, I would venture to say that its tough finding a "gamer-dude" to sell those plate to because they are so into technology that they can build their own sites.

This plate will sell BIG time and make you more $$ than most of the "slick" ones combined. I, after all, am in this for the money and I want to provide the plates that have all the nice functionality and "slidey thingies", while keeping the 'lid on' from a more believable business presence perspective.

Take a look around... most of the sites on the web (that are sustainable and pay the bills) are in the style of a plate more like this one.

Nice job....

Oh! and I hope none of you use this template so I can get the lion share of the business with it!

Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic designs and whoever created them are extremely clever. However, it's getting to the stage where the templates being produced are just not the type of design that I can make any use of. I think the nexus template is the most recent one I have used, the rest of them are older ones like versatility, catalyst. I can't speak for anyone else but I really don't think I'm going to be able to justify spending several hundred pounds a year when I am not really using any of the template's.

Wauw what a fantastic template is your Kinetic release. This is where I was waiting for. :cheesy:

This template is very useful, because it has the possibility to publish 'normal' and also serious issues.

I fully agree with thee quotes:

In this period I'm working on a website for a professor in deafblindness issues. The last template to publish his work was Nexus. All the others tamplates are extreme hot and beautiful, but for me they are a bit too hot, too blizz. But, even I was already a bit on my way with Nexus, I'll restart using Kinetic.

I hope that next templates are like Kinetic.

This kind of template is the way to go IMHO. We can easely adpt it to the circunstances. This kind of design is like a swiss knife.


Congrats RT

With a few modifcations to the index file and removing the background creates a sleek silver template

Hi Fireman,

let me explain: I am really happy with Kinetic and I hope RT will make more such templates.

I started and ended my previous post with the statement I'm very positive about Kinectic .

Apparently - due to my moderate knowledge of the English language - I misunderstood the
qoutes of Jerker Reden and Penn Wooding. I thought they ment Kinetic a change from to the previous ones. :shock:

Hope I made it clear so.
