You stated the problem right there. No one is going to design free template that looks attractive. If they do, the question would be, do you want to use it? If you answer yes, you really shouldn't be in the business of putting up a website. Successful websites are not those who mimic other sites or look like all of the rest. Successful websites are those with exciting, fresh, new ideas that help to put them out on top. It is this fact as to why most templates out there look the same. Design work takes time and effort. Most of the cheap templates you see on the net are going to be non-unique and, in some cases, not original. For unique designs, you will not find them or be able to purchase them online. Instead, you would have to work directly with a designer to have your idea built. Expect to pay a premium for it too.
