Ok im new to mambo and love the features and benefits it offers and have now integrated it into 3 - 4 sites for friends and clients to be able to update their own websites without getting me to do it all the time.

I have put mambo into the following sites ...

Kiwikidz Quarter Midget Club - www.kiwikidz.co.nz
Landart Designs - www.landartdesigns.co.nz
Apartments Online - www.apartmentsonline.co.nz
H47 - www.h47.gen.nz/web

All of these sites have been edited by the client and some of the content has been displayed in well a less than appealing fashion lol but i guess you just cant help some people. (i.e. the 2 html pages a search engine specialist has added to the landart site "sitemap and resources")

Im just looking for some general feedback and am curious to see some other examples, keep in mind these are my first attempts at templating for mambo and id like to have a good crack at it over the next couple of weeks and see if i can create some really (sorry for the following comment) NON MAMBO looking templates. If you know of any good examples, ideas or template features then id live to hear them and have a crack at creating something a little different from all the 2 / 3 column style templates that are around at the moment.

I figure its time to give a little back to the community and since im not a coder and will never claim to be i guess templating is where its at for me.

Look forward to some comments.
Future creations or any "non client sites" i create i will consider creating a site to make them available or at least post them to mamboportal or something should interest be high enough.

Impressive work, on a scale from 1 to 10 I give you at least 8!
I love the clean and smooth look of your templates.
You could help the community by releasing a few free (gnu/gpl) templates.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the positive feedback ufo. Ill defiantly be putting together some templates for the community over the coming weeks, not sure where ill release them yet weather they will be on mambo portal for all to download or if i will create my own mambo site but one things for sure hey will be free for all. I will also include the photoshop file for those interested in developing the template further to suit their needs.

Great work !!! Loved them all, but the above one was my favorite. Hope to se more templates like this as GPL/GNU in the near future.

Keep up the good work !!!
