I wholeheartedly agree. After getting several shoddy outsourced projects I've come to adopt the mantra that "if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself". The individual who created a template for me did a decent job on design, but the CSS was absolutely pitiful and full of many unnecessary and confusing layers... I think this is why large corporations that have detailed processes involving requirements definition etc. do a far better job with getting what they want from outsourced work (as compared to startups). With a 1-2 person company, most of us don't have the time or money to throw together a 50-page whitepaper detailing exactly what is needed.
