Weird, I’m offended by the opposite end of this. Why am I “theming” websites? What, is this MySpace? I want the professional paid/trained developer to design the site. If it’s light, I expect there to be good reasons for it. If not, ditto.

I feel the same way about salads in restaurants—I don’t want to have to slice produce, add dressing, and toss my own salad at the table without a bowl or proper utensils. I want the professionals who I am paying to prepare my meal to handle that. If I have problems with any of the ingredients, or some desire for unreasonable quantities of dressing, then I can make requests. Serving me a plate of neatly partitioned ingredients strikes me as an insane thing to do…I suppose unless it comes with fondue or I have signed up for some hibachi nonsense to make my dinner more “interactive”.

I have fully lost the thread, apologies, carry on.
