I too want to see sites that do not look like the default skin (not just changing colors and swapping out the header logo).

Anyone have advice where I can get some great skins for my website? Currently, I'm using the default skin, meaning it doesn't look much different than this here. Any advice?

Do not expect a lot of skins until product is in beta stage. Stylevars are unfinished.

When do you think that will happen? And is there a way I can order someone to skin my site? Are there any websites that offer agents for work who would do it? Any advice is welcomed.

Do not know. Product was launched too early and now nobody knows when some ideas will be finished/debugged/fixed. Constantly changing stylevars destroy any skin other than ugly default every beta release.

How about VBskinworks? Do they offer more interesting designs for vb4? I just looked them up and it looks like they have a bunch of good templates I could use (or anyone else for that matter)

They created one skin for vb4 at the moment. http://www.vbskinworks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4244

Yep, I just realized this myself. Are they reliable? They look like they've been very professional throughout the release(s). I can only put my hopes in the future, that they will design many more to come for this version. Unfortunately, this is the downside with non-free / non-public, paid-for software. Not saying that it wasn't worth the money (sure was), but this way you have to wait, and do many things yourself (such as the language translations since the language I needed has not yet been fully realized). This is where public source prevails IMHO.

Have no idea. Heard about designers abandoning developments of vB skins because of stylevar issues. Paid skins are great. I have membership in rockettheme for example (it is not vb skinning club :-( ) Some custom free skins you can find on vbulletin.org.

Is your home page powered by vB CMS. It doesn't look like. Otherwise, it has an excellent design.

Not hugely big but was a successful upgrade

How/what did you do to add the white frame around your CMS images? Very professional effect...

To Saqibm: How/what did you do to add the white frame around your CMS images? Very professional effect...

If you're talking about the preview, then if I'm not mistaken, that is a default setting: [stylevars: vbcms_article_preview_image_border]. You just don't notice it in the default skin against the white page background. If you mean the white-in-black frame Saqibm has around the larger images in the full-view articles, then that's something added using an image editor (photoshop?) prior to upload, by the looks of things.
