I showed him the one I wanted to use; he had already browsed it and loved it, so we were absolutely on the same page here. 2/ I billed LV for 21 hours of work on this site. Of that, about *two* was spent tweaking the template. All of the rest was for copywriting, product re-development, and a handful of graphics. 3/ When I put this project in my portfolio, I was clear that "it wasn’t really a design job; with very, very little time available, we used a commercial WordPress template..." The post where I stated this is also tagged "customised stock layout." I could not have been more transparent about the origins of this site. 4/ LouderVoice for Business won Best E-Business. It did not win, nor was it up for, a design award. I have never submitted a template-based site for a design award, ever. As I said, I'm note sure anybody could have been more up-front about the evolution of Louder Voice for Business, but since you seem very confused, I hope this clarifies things for you. Mike, let's be very clear here.

As I said on Twitter earlier, "Get template for site" is step 1. Now do steps 2-19. For those who think a web-site design is just the template, you need to read Sabrina's post here.
