Do You Feel Like You're Cheating if you use a Template?

I had to do a quick website design for a client and I used a template. I feel so dirty now. I feel like I cheated.

Does anyone else use templates and if so, do you feel like you're cheating your customers by doing so?

C'mon, make me feel better about myself.

So you charged $250 for a $10 template? That's business

Oh, no, wait. That's cheating. What if your customer finds out that there are 10 more websites that look almost the same....

If the client is happy, everything is ok

If they hire you they more than likely couldn't (or don't have the time to) manipulate a template to look the way they want or need anyway....

Hope you didn't charge a custon fee for a templated site. That would be fraud.
