We design WordPress themes very often and each of them has quite a few standard elements. Because of that, we decided to make a PSD framework for Photoshop that would include these common elements.
We use it as a starting point every time we start to work on a mockup for a new WordPress theme. Since it’s quite a time saver for us, we thought that somebody else would probably find it useful too. You can download it for free using the URL below:
We hope that it would save you some time. You can use it for making design mockups for other blog engines too.
Have fun! :)

Thanks! I’d like to give this a try!
I’ve just started blogging with WP and I love your themes! In fact, I modified your Sakura Theme for my own use. You can see it here if you like: http://ztampf.com/blog/ (Of course, I give proper credit to you there on the footer :)).
The thing is, I can’t figure out how to keep the 2nd sidebar to appear on the side and not pushed to the bottom the way it is now. I’m not a programmer, I just know a bit HTML and CSS. Any help will be appreciated :). Big Thanks!
