I discovered these admin templates about a month and a half ago when I was redesigning my site. I did the original design for my MVP but I wanted a more polished, compliant design. I considered hiring a freelancer and even looked into 99designs for a full site template before I found an amazing admin template for $20. It took some customization on m part but I'm extremely happy with the result and the savings.
I wrote this up based on the response to my comment on <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2346350" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2346350</a>.<p>tptacek - "The 'Admin' templates on Theme Forest are really kind of blowing my mind right now. Every front-end-challenged web app developer on HN should know about this."<p>edenm - "WOW! If anyone hasn't seen these, seriously, check them out."
