I was wondering...aren't website templates (whether it's a CMS, HTML/CSS template, etc.) a bypass to process?
If anyone can download a template and edit it with (relative) ease, where's the process?

I know, the product itself is the most important thing. But doens't this mean that a website's design and development is not a barrier to entry any longer?

I'm quite confused right now...
