Hi All,

I am searching for vBulletin theme that looks more like a portal (or general website) but does not look too much like a regular boring forum.

I mean to say, I need an 'innovative' theme that does not have too many borders, tables, lines etc.
The visitors should not get a feel of a regular forum at least in the first look.

I hope I conveyed my meaning correctly.

If you can suggest any such interesting themes, I will be grateful.

Even custom developed ones are fine. I can pay upto $ 500 for an outstanding theme.
If you know any outstanding theme developers who have done such work already, please suggest.

The theme is mostly for a technical website.

Note: One such good theme that comes to my mind is www.daniweb.com ! I know it's custom-coded and I don't want to replicate that. I am telling this site as an example of how a vBulletin theme can be made interesting.
