If you have a look at the ones I have up there now, that's kinda what I need.  Doesn't need to be much, but a 3 or 4 sentences would be great.

In creating my Web pages in HTML format, I first used another company's services. However, after much thought I decided to change to CMS and chose Joomla!. Since generaly speaking, template support is rather unsatisfactory, I decided to seek professional template support. On the Joomla! Web pages I found out that their template was developped by RocketTheme (JamboWorks).  By looking through the offer and comparing it to other offers on the Internet, I came to the conclusion that RocketTheme has the best high-quality templates for Joomla! to be found. I have been using one template on my site for some time already, but  nevertheless I look forward to what each new month might bring. The high-quality and possibilities which each new template brings are constantly improving and expanding. Appart from that, excellent user support desrves the highest praise...

Edit it as you like, Andy.

My True Story

"RocketTheme, I have a confession to make. When I joined in as a member, I was not sure if I should become a member or not and was confused between you and your other competitor at that time. Inadvertently thinking that I am signing up for your competitor, I actually signed up for you guys. Yes, in other words, I did not mean to be a full time member but thinking that I am signing up for your competitor, I signed up for you. And when I realised I was like, "What have I done !!".....But now, seven months after being a full memeber, I DO NOT regret at all making that mistake...Infact when I look at your competitors, you are far ahead of all of them."

Yes, We'd be interested,

We became a member just two or three months ago after looking at several hundred, (or more), templates from a variety of designers.  95% of those templates I wouldn't attempt to work with mainly because of usability issures and sloppy CSS, (and a sizable number of them were ugly beyond description!)

Since our business has 5 active domains, RocketTheme Club is a real bargin.  So far, we've worked with 3 of the templates: Internet Gazzett, Aphelion and we just changed http://www.websiterevamp.org  to the new Versitility template - What a great piece of work!  It's light, (we timed it on a dial-up at 12 seconds), easy to configure and even the CSS is done well.

We have two domains converted to Joomla and Rockettheme and I suspect the other three will go the same way.  We are encouraging our web clients who are interested in a Joomla WebsiteRevamp to become members of the club as well so they can pick and choose and get a better understanding of what we can do for them.  (Once they've visited the forum, they'll have no inclination to "DIY!"

The best part of being a member is that YOU stand behind your work and have a very active forum - That's helped us on several occasions.  Keep up the good work!

A bit of history:  I looked at Mambo 2 yrs. ago -- it was far from ready for "prime time."  Looked again early last year, more promising, but still too many rough edges, (and ugly templates.)  Finally, we decided to take the plunge in Jan. '06. and by Feb. 22 with a lot of mid-night oil between several of our group, we launched a client site:  www.ruthberger.com.  Sorry, that first one used an Arthur Konze template, one of the very few others I might buy a template from.

I'm going to be creating a Testimonial section on the site that will contains 1-3 paragraph quotes with member names (if you want) and URLs (if you want), and possibly screenshots.  This of course helps me out but also may help you out with a link from my site (PR7) to yours.

Please reply, or PM me if you are interested.

Cheers,

Andy

okay heres mine :


"After spending months searching for a good template for my gaming website and not having any luck at all, i dropped on RT about a month ago. After some deliberation (cost wise) i felt that the quality of the themes was well worth the small amount of money. Not only that but now that I am a member I have the added bonus of RT's members expertese, who are allways willing to help out in anyway they can. RocketTheme is the best i have seen and it just keeps getting better!"

hope thats alright

will be signing up for the Joomla themes, when the money is right

I sent this via email on Sept. 9, 2006 to Andy. Not sure if he ever got it. Here it is again:

About 6 months ago at the end of March 2006 , I came across the Joomla Content Management System (CMS). After fumbling around a bit, I found some decent templates from various sites because I didn't like the default look of Joomla. But no matter which template I tried, it just didn't have the right "feel" to it. That is, I never felt like these templates were a reflection of me. I bought the Joomlashack templates but found it lacking, and that's when I decided to take the plunge and buy a 1-year membership to RocketTheme. I knew that since I'm so finicky and such a perfectionist that I would quickly become tired and switch templates frequently. But still $75 for a year seemed a bit much. What if I didn't like these RocketTheme templates? Well, one month into my year-long membership I can say with confidence that the $75 was some of the best money I have ever spent.

With each new template that Andy releases comes a renewed sense of awe and excitement for me. How is it possible that he keeps coming up with such unique and eye-catching designs? I guess only the design gods can answer that question. I am so ecstatic to have found the RocketTheme templates. And as an added bonus, the RocketTheme support forum is first-class. I've found myself completely engrossed in its daily news, updates, and gems of useful information. In fact, it was through the forum that I met the gentleman from Denmark who designed the logo for my website, www.stevenguyenonline.com.

People ask me how I was able to get my site to look "like that". They seem so impressed at my ability to design something that beautiful. I just smile and say it was a lot of hard work. But if they keep asking then I'll finally confess and say it was RocketTheme! Oh, the agony of a confession. That's ok, I'll get over it. =)

To Andy and the staff at RocketTheme, thank you. I have found an online home for my Joomla needs.

Yes, that is one of Phil Taylor's components -- http://www.phil-taylor.com/  be forewarned, it will add about 60k of overhead - Ajax and all that stuff - I'm about 3 updates behind, so it may be trimmed down by now.  Phil is real good about supporting his stuff, and his stuff is generally good in the first place.

Well, I just renewed here, which means I have been a member for one year already.
I've been a user of mambo for two years before Joomla! was formed a year ago.
(Was one of the first 900 members on the Joomla! forums. Wink )

I must say, Rocket Theme is the Best Joomla Template Club out there.

And the reasons are :
1. Fabulous Designs - needs no proof.
2. Great Support - visit the forum.
3. A Bargain at $75 - 3 sites for $25 / site / yr
                           - change designs as many times as you want!
                           - most commercial templates cost $30/site! (you do the math)

Joomla is a very powerful and flexible CMS, but without a high-quality template, a Joomla site just blends in with the rest. That's where Rocket Theme comes in, providing Joomla-ers with professional-grade themes at a reasonable price, and without Rocket Theme, Game-Spectrum.com would not be where it is today! Thank you RT!

I believe my post in Water Cooler is just as relavent here  Grin

Quote from: James S on March 11, 2007, 05:07:20 AM
Why did you choose Rocket Theme over any other Joomla! template club or business?

I believe that Rocket Theme has something unique about it which is absent from all other template clubs. All template clubs have Joomla! templates  Tongue but I find that RT offers something different. All templates from RT are completely unique and never really fit the pattern of a previous template. Therefore, when a new template comes out, it truely is a "new" template, not a remake of an old one. When browsing some other clubs, I always thought to myself, "Yeah, some good templates, but they all look very similar with an almost identical structure" (I always think this about Joomlart!)

Probably the most important aspect of RT, in my views, which make it better than the rest, is the Community. Everyone is incredibly friendly and so helpful. Just scan through the forums and you will always see members helping someone else, or just making general chit chat. I am also shocked to see that the "Boss People"  Cheesy play as much as an active role in the forums as any member. There just appears to be a strong lattice within these forums that creates a very warm and opening atmosphere. I never see members getting frustated, even if the same question has been asked 100 times again.

I am extremely judgmental (character flaw  Cheesy ) and I will, even though I probably shouldn't, a template club or similar business by the website they have. If they are going to sell you something, their best work should be their own, purposely built for them. I found this lacking on other sites. RT is different, as we all know, it has a structure that is separate from any other. I believe this is due to Andy's abilites to not conform to the general, default structure of a typical Joomla! website. Everything is easily accessibly from the main page without clutter becoming a major problem. It has a presence of being something better!

The last point that I can think of, which to some may be the most important, is the value for money. For a relatively cheap price, you can have access to the best templates on the market. I would have thought that RT templates would have been more expensive but was shocked to see the actual price!

I repeat my intial statement, Why did you choose RT over any other? - What makes it better for you?

And to Conclude...
