I was planning on contracting local design talent for some of my clients needs, however I stumbled upon a template affiliate program. I was wondering if anyone uses any of them and if anyone could recommend one or recommend staying away from one.

I imagine its alot like picking a web host. So not looking for particulars just a little advice/guidance in assisting me to choose one or not.

Thanks

If you can get some sort of affiliate program without an affiliate link. People are starting to get savvy on affiliate programs. It could be a decent thing though. It's always good to get in with the local designers though, they can refer their clients to you, and you refer your clients to them. I prefer this over a template. If someone wants a template they can use the sitebuilder. Just my opinion.
