I don`t leverage templates per-se but I have used Template Monster once before for a job that needed a real quick turnaround (less than a day) and they have some slick solutions for just about every aspect of a website and business.

Template monster was pretty cut and dry.  Not much interface with humans at all.  You purchase the template you want, they send you an e-mail with information on how to download it and that`s it.

I do build sites occasionally but not as much as I used to.  I offer custom solutions based on the customer`s needs.  Sometimes clients require web site building and sometimes they do not.  I`ve been doing more marketing as of late but I still build sites.  I`m building a custom shopping cart for one of my clients at the moment and doing two pro bono web site builds in the next few weeks.

have you considered CoffeeCup?  I hight recommend it.  Tons of templates...just get what you want and start editing it using any HTML editor of your choice (i.e. Dreamweaver)

Open Source Web Design (OSWD)  -- these templates are free.

As far as template value  --  they are a blessing for those who either don`t have a budget or don`t have a need for custom (genuinely custom) web design. Thing is that too many "web designers" take templates, modify them a little bit and say they are custom sites. But that`s beside the point.
