An excellent branding work is one of the things that are needed now to make a project succeed. People are picky and well educated in the internet business. Many know a template from a unique layout ...

I would never think to belittle the great work artists do. Its a skill I do not possess and I always have to hire out for it.

I just cant always get the client to want to pay money for the software then double that price for the graphics to use it.

If I had unlimited budget for every project I work on, then I'm sure I'd be putting your kids through college. But as it sits I have to squeeze stones for the extra stuff like themes.
