Who are the best paid vB designers around?

Actually your not the owner of iamvica, Dwight Robinson is. When I saw this I got really confused so I emailed him and this is what he said.

Wow..and rofl! Just a bit to add to this,vbcore shows alot of designs on his site he claims to have made for me when in fact, he bought the designs from Dwight, coded and sold them to me. Every one of them had to be recoded due to massive problems in the code at great expense to me...along with some other unpleasant issues I had led me to not ever do business with him again.

Since no one has suggested them yet.... Transverse Styles

Looks like some designers get their products from Dwight.

That is quite interesting. On another note, I do some vB skinning on the side and if you are looking for a custom design, feel free to contact me :-). Thanks!

Many do. Transverse, ExtremePixels, CinVin and myself indirectly. Our sites are a business, not a hobby, and there is a massive freelance market that we utilize. I wouldn't be surprised or troubled by it...it's how business is done. We take these designs and improve them, code them, support them all at a very reasonable cost to the end user considering the expense incurred to bring it to market.

Ours don't Our styles are all designed and coded in-house, from scratch

Very interesting approach and not one I have a problem with. I'd like a custom skin for my fitness site - using slightly modified extremepixels ones now - but haven't had much luck in getting responses from the couple of emails I sent out.

I don't think Bob does much, if any, custom work. Not sure about the others I listed as well. I do...you might want to drop by and see what I offer in the way of those services
