[consulting] Examples of great looking Drupal sites without custom design

[Shai Gluskin]

Sam and all,

Multiflex-3 <http://drupal.org/project/multiflex3>: http://bnaikeshet.org/
Acquia Marina <http://drupal.org/project/acquia_marina>:
http://interfaithways.org

Bill, I think you are answering a different question from the one that Sam
is asking. Sam's a developer; the fact that Fusion/Skinr can give you a lot
of design control at the UI level will not really save the client any money.
His issue is that the client can't afford a designer and wants to see some
examples of sites built with an open source design.

Maybe on a different thread we can talk about the merits of Fusion/Skinr.
I've just used it on one project so far, and I went running back to Genesis
(a pretty spare base theme) on my next project. Drupal already has a lot of
settings at the UI and Fusion/Skinr just pile on.

Best,

Shai Gluskin
