Here’s how to make your web apps look awesome -&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hire a designer :)&lt;p&gt;--&lt;p&gt;I am saying this only half-jokingly. There&apos;s always a trade-off. Pre-made themes are great, but&lt;p&gt;(a) they are shared and have a mass-production stigma attached to them&lt;p&gt;(b) they are designed first and spec&apos;d second, which is the opposite of the normal process whereby the design follows from what it is that needs to be achieved with it.&lt;p&gt;The title should really be &quot;great looking designs on a budget&quot; rather than focusing on the lack of the designer skills. Because if there are funds available, then contracting out the design and getting exactly what you want beats the hell out of purchasing a theme.</text></comment>
