if you can't design a site, and you make your own "custom site" it is a step backwards.
on the other hand if your a very skilled designer, and can make a custom design that will grab users attention and make them feel comfortable on the page, then its massive steps forward.
there are lots of pre-made , nice templates, but others could be using the same template. and if you don't know enough that you have to use a template, chances are you need to use the layout, and won't be able to accurately put things where you want ( unless the template fits exactly what you want.)
personally I find a custom design I wrote easier to work with than a template, because I know what I named certain div's and what I did for each element, making editing easier than picking up on someone else's work
if your a designer, I think the last thing you should be doing is using a pre-made template. what will your customers think, if they see your site , and have seen it on monster template or some other site.
