Wordpress and Drupal Themes.

[Mary Beth Faccioli]

Hi Jorge,
If your primary criteria is that the theme is 1) cheap and 2) looks good pretty much out of the box, I would recommend you avoid Drupal.  Drupal lags behind WordPress on the look-and-feel layer, even with paid themes (even though Drupal is improving on this).  With a paid Drupal theme you would need to put in more time than it sounds like you have, or have someone tweak it for you which costs more money than it sounds like you have. 

I second the WooThemes recommendation but there are tons of options out there.

For what it's worth!

I'm not sure about Drupal, but I'm a huge fan of WooThemes (http://www.woothemes.com/) for WordPress.
