So I've been looking at various members of OcUK websites and most look just professional and awesome be it for their business or pleasure. Now apart from uni which we made crappy sites for coursework, I've never made a good looking site, only recently I've made a simple site morahman.me

Pretty simple, I've yet to figure out what content I'm going to fill it with, just really to sell my self to be honest. So my question or issue is, I'm planning go into web design (I'm crap at programming but HTML'ing I'm fine with) so for my first website to look 'good', I went on a search for some templates I could use.

Now all the web designers out there who might have dabbled in templates, do you feel that you've somehow cheated in order to make your site nice as I feel a little guilt as I didn't come up with my own sort of design being a newbie and all:o
 
I guess I'll need to put solid time to fiddle with things, @Spunkey- I've always done it the other way around but that's my uni mentality for ya, appreciate the replies peeps!
