It looks like a PixelBrick site. Very nice for $200.

It's only the PixelBrick 'blocks' that have stolen, the rest is not in the league to be honest.

Very well done, amazing template

this one really worth 200$ very nice...

Heh, I was almost tempted, till I saw the bit about a link to your site. Hah, yeah right, of course I'll PAY for a design and then advertise for you too.

Jeremy, this is common in the web design business. They are the creator, their copyright can appear at the bottom (unless you're overly concerned about the 'link' part... ???)

Tom my knowledge, PB *templates* start at around this, sites higher.

NitidNet, its up to you if you want to bid on the template or not, nobody’s forcing you. As chicken said, it is common practice for the designers mark to remain on the site.

As far as comparing us to pixel brick… well that’s pure judgment, we make our own designs and have no intention to steal or copy any one else’s design, however, similarities exist in all designs today. Designing a website is a trend and an art, so every web site design might have something in common if you look hard enough.

i know host rocket paid 40,000 for their main design and 25,000 for their rackfast design.... a bit much if u ask me but they are good.

Really?

Yep,

10k for something not as flashy, 20+k for something like RackFast.

You are correct, I've heard they paid around 100k for hostrocket!

I very much doubt that :stickout

My guess is $30~k

I have it confirmed they paid around 100k:stickout
