But, as has been pointed out, people might be confused or discouraged by the look and feel of web2py.com, if all they want is easy, good- looking websites/webapps. It's great that Massimo is making Drupal and Wordpress templates to work with web2py. But we should strive to make web2py.com, web2pyslices, etc. look beautiful, so we don't give the impression that great design is incompatible with web2py.
