This is a highly debatable statement - I'd almost say it's wildly 
inaccurate. If a client doesn't have budget for a designer, but they can 
access basic design options via a UI that guides them toward sustainable 
options, that will save them time and money through all stages of the 
project.

They can get a better looking site at launch.

They will be able to maintain their site through updates, as custom 
modifications won't break on upgrade.

They will be able to change their look and feel later (albeit in the 
ways that are supported via the UI) by using these options. Or, for less 
money than would be required to maintain a fully customized theme, they 
can build additional options that can then be accessed via the UI.

Additionally, I never mentioned anything about Fusion. We've never used 
it, and likely never will.

Cheers,

Bill
