[startbootstrap]

Hi. I made Start Bootstrap. I agree that Wrap Bootstrap offers much better finished products than my tool. The purpose of my tool is to start with a somewhat blank slate.

Buying a template is like buying a finished painting and sticking it in a custom frame. Building a site from scratch is like painting your own painting.

Start Bootstrap is kind of like getting a paint-by-number. Some of the work is done, and the elements are there for you. If you want, you can just use the default styles and make it look okay, but if you're a bit more experienced as a painter you can make it look even better by adding some of your own style.

I definitely think that if you're looking for a nice, clean, completed template then head over to http://wrapbootstrap.com and check out their selection! If you're looking for something a bit more barebones, then http://startbootstrap.com is built for you! :)

Hi, I logged in to thank you for start bootstrap. I'm not from US and 20 $ isn't peanuts its about 1500 bucks with which i can host an entire website for 1 year( in my country). I really love your bare templates, and will start using them from my next project.

Thanks again for all the good work and keeping them free.

That's awesome. Thanks for using my templates. I'm adding more every week, so be sure to keep checking back!

I agree that they fill different needs and there's definitely room for both. I think a good addition to http://startbootstrap.com would be a few preconfigured palettes that will work with the templates.

http://bootswatch.com already has some of these. I might start integrating some of my own sometime though. Might not be a bad idea.
