I'm kind of flabbergasted at how good that Construct theme is. I've looked at themes on ThemeForest and didn't see anything of that calibre for sale. Now I'm awkwardly wondering whether I can buy a theme for my Rails site instead of amateurishly hamfisting it myself. Arggh.

edit: Wonderful collection, so many of these sites look really useful and/or inspiring. Great work man.

Try using Bootstrap - there's plenty of resources for ensuring it no longer "looks" like Bootstrap.

If you're looking for great themes, I recommend Orman Clark's work: http://www.themezilla.com/ The only problem for me was that his themes are not responsive.

Those look like Wordpress themes, though...my site is on Rails. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless!

I often just rip the html from a Wordpress theme and use it for a rails site. Its a tiny bit of extra work, but totally worth it.

I've never bought a WP theme before - so it's not too hard to convert one for use in Rails? Just take the HTML, CSS, & JS and start putting it into the Rails structure? I'll seriously look into this option, then - thanks for the note.
