Well let me get one thing straight here - ravio isn't cheaper. Ravio provides custom designs at these prices:

Quote:
vBulletin Style Design
vBulletin style design is something ravio is very well known for. This includes design, creation of the vBulletin.style, custom button set, and customization. The costs for this package vary from $500 USD and up depending on the complexity of the work involved. However, If you need a very basic style, the costs range from 150-350 USD. And do not come with customization, or a button set. To inquire about vBulletin style design, please contact us.
That is far more than what i'd charge and what my friend is charging. I know people who pay corey just for psd's and they cost 350 normally. Now this is custom work.

Vbskins - you can go ahead and buy their styles but it won't be original. There will be lots of other sites with the exact same style as you and the reason for that is because it's so cheap.

Now ok in your opininon they're better but let me give a little brief opinion of mine about ravio. Corey isn't original. He takes other people's design ideas and structures and changes bits around and then calls them his own. The company who's ideas he steals are www.pixelbrick.com.

For example:

Pixelbrick's design:

http://www.hostrocket.com/home/index.htm
______

Corey's design:

http://www.f5hosting.com/

_____________

Now any good webdesigner will see the resemblence.

Now i hope i've changed your opinion on ravio and the fact that this design is $100 is because it's custom - no-one else with have this design except the owner.

Regards

My point is that ravio isn't original - is overrated - and charges far too much

lol a:\ not to be funny mate but did you load the two links, i wouldn't say they're that different, however i don't know which one was about first, but i do prefer the hostrocket one tbh, anyway who knows, who care, corey's pimping, making money, let mist pimp his style, if you don't want it, don't buy let someone else do it, if i had the time i'd make more skins myself

That's another thing - take a look at corey's portfolio...

I personally don't think he's making that much money because all of his clients have some kind of affilation with him...

i guess it's all in the name of marketing, besides i'm sure at one stage i got an email from yaxay with him saying he needed to sell it to concentrate on business and his kid etc (sorry if i'm mistaken) but anyway, it's been a long time, he should be well into profit by now!

ravio.com has skins for sale for cheaper than $100. And that is with install. I think Corey is doing as good a job or better than a lot of them. It isn't always about the all mighty buck, at least it shouldn't be.
