    -Whether Joomla is the best CMS is a matter of debate. People will argue for Drupal, WordPress and Mambo.

    -TemplateMonster has a lot of Joomla templates too.

    I wont recommend you to buy Rocketthemes. But if you are really looking to buy premium themes,then better to buy Joomlart themes. Its the best and their support is also nice..
    BTW,you can get all those themes for FREE ..:p

    Think about wht you want to achieve first and go around the template world to see what club fits your needs

    rockettheme has very good technical support and nice templates
    templateplazza has very good specific templates, really quick to modify and use, support is not their best
    gavick.com has nice corporate stuff, support is useless
    joomlart has a lot of templates, multipurposed, but their support sucks

    Joomlart has a new individual email support system. I haven't tried it because I've always found their forum to be all I need. I think support via the form is decent to above average. The one time I needed help with RT stuff, I got no replies in their forum.

    JA and RT probably are the top two, offering the most for the lowest price. JA does tend to recycle its stuff and be a little glitchy, RT is the same but a little less so. JA has a ton of themes and extensions. RT's extensions are few but really solid. JA extensions are really smart, important functions, but it takes a LONG time for them to be any good, at least those included in the templates and as free software.

    JA's themes seem more elegantly built and keep things simple, easy to customize. RT templates are just jammed up with stuff. Apparently all the plumage attracts buyers, but in practice it's a pain to work with if you want to customize the templates a lot.

    JA is a little better than RT on SEO-oriented, semantic design. Neither one is into fully tableless, semantically valid templates--which remains "normal" in the Joomla world.

    the design of joomlapraise templates is too simple. They should put more money in it. I won t buy a template with too simple design. If I can do it myself, why should I buy i from joomlapraise? Look at rt, gavick, joomlart, youjoomla and templateplazza, coding, rt tribune or blogplazza , or the last sport from youjoomla would take me time , coding the last joomlapraise is something I could think about. So...so far, not enough to get me signed up there
