    Do you guys know of any template package that has a set of nice designs that have similar HTML so that I can use them to create my own CMS? Links would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    You would probably be best off if you made your CMS flexible, with a bunch of variables in the theme file controlling most code output. This would mean that any template can be easily converted into a theme.

    The post ahead of mine won't actually help you, since each design there uses different code.

    Hey Gnome, do you have a list of your favorite templates because there are so many?

    My Picks:

    The 1024px wide versions of Daleri Mega and Daleri Structure from my site, and the new Daleri Single template from Andreas Viklund.

    Arcsin: Cerulean Elegance, Emplode, Colourvoid, and Grunge Superstar.

    Interactive Media and Internet Corporation from Solucija.

    These are just templates I'd use. They are pretty popular, new designs from folks who have been doing this for a while. There are lots of awesome looking templates from others, and lots of good older work from these three.
