We did some clipstore-esque modifications for the client, and some of them involved making some modifications to the templates to work with the new functionality. We did them all on the default template as he did not have a design/layout for the site at that time. We did the work and got paid in full. Some time later, he got this template made (very nice btw, I would say his nicest work to date), showed it to us, we quoted on cutting and integrating it and he decided to have MechTemplates do it instead. Our involvement with the project ended at that point.
