Consider hiring a graphic artist to tweak a theme for you, create a nice, new, custom header image and buttons, or better yet, create a whole new, unique theme that is suited to that niche and topic. Go in and make sure that there are no broken links, out of date offers, or anything else that might detract from the site’s ‘curb appeal.’
