I have to make around 15 sites per month for clients. This can get very taxing on my mind.
I often have a hard time coming up with designs that clients like all the time.

Does anyone else have this problem?

no, because i outsource my design work.
Its easy that way, pay someone to design the site, and save you the headache.
Unless you are a great designer, then this is the best way to do it

Thanks Homer, good idea.
Any ideas where/who i can outsource to and how to go about it?

Yes, rentacoder.com is a good one.
They have many many designers, programmers, writers etc who can help you at low rates.

elance.com is another one.
You have to pay to post jobs there, but the quality seems better.

I just noticed this thread and I know it's old but.

If anyone wants to outsource design work, come to me! I'm a designer myself and don't mind some extra work!

You could also try scriptlance.com. They have tons of people willing to do web work that can fit into anyone's budget.

Depending on the complexity of your designs and your client requirements, you can create several templates using various color themes and fonts. This addresses two issues. One is that your client can easily see examples and choose what they like, and two: You don't have to start from scratch all the time.

BUT, if you are doing very heavily customized work, the template scenario will not solve your problem.

I often prefer to design sites from some design experts as i found there is no probabilty in some one to be a good desogner too as well as good programmer so after having desgin i like to code myself!
