Unlike many of the others that replied, I kind of agree with you that
the site is neither great or fancy (Professional? Depends what you are
judging). I can not comment on the templates as I have not seen those.
While it is true that no one goes to a washer help site to see a fancy
site. Many people (myself included) do base their opinion of the
quality of information they will receive from a site based on the look
and feel of the site. They could care less about validation if you
used CSS or not, or any other technical thing mentioned in other posts.
Your site looks plain and simple (though much better than most) Some
will interpret that as your content is also plain and simple, and go
elsewhere (is there anywhere else to go?)
If you think the template looks better, then go for it. If validation
and accessibility is important to you, then tweak the template to
assure those things.
