^^ That's what I do me myself... but sometimes I have trouble trying to create a website. I sit down, draw concepts on a sheet of paper and I am never satisfied with none of them, and I even have a hard time designing a website whenever I try and look at one for inspiration so I just copy a template (not to sell but to get my mind into a creative mode.)

My question was, how can I get out of this so I don't end up making a complete replica? (Sorry if I worded it wrong.) But how do I get my creative mode in my mind working, what do other professional template designers seek? How do you all get your creative juices flowing and what errors do you watch out for, I know clutter should stay at a minimum but what other things should I look for that will boost my template sale?
