My experience with ready made templates is you get what you pay for. They are nice if you want to use them as they are but if you start customizing them you will probably need to take more time then actually starting something on your own. At least that is my experience with having used many themeforest templates were the quality of the code was not in had with the quality of the design that was presented to you initially and one more thing I see with cheap templates they are usually full of bloat. You get 100 features but you only need 5 of them it is hard to make the template only keep 5 because everything is interlinked.
Good quality code is just as important as a good looking design. Based on the comments I've received until now, I think this is the main thing missing from website templates.
Also, a little more flexibility in these templates would make things better.
Thanks for sharing your experience though.
