Hallo @Peter, I disagoo kidogo. She is running a small or a startup business and one value of that is to save as much as possible on infrastructure, costs etc. Now if something is freely available, then I fear she is being exploited for something that she does not need to pay for or pay large amounts for. Rather, for freelancers the aproach should be this : hey choose your template and I shall customize it for you at this much amount. ? Anyway, watch next year, how far I take the free templates and coding libraries on to some commercial levels, pending if the finances will be there and most likely on asp.net ... :-)

 

On another note, freelancers need to watch out for major changes with systems like CMS where clients can use service provider templates to get their sites done the same day. How will they deal with this?  Hosting Service providers in Kenya are doing kenyans a big dis-service. CMS has been around for almost 5 years, it is almost a hosting standard now.

 

Me thots.. :-)
