OnCarrot.com - Has anyone used for their site?
Has anyone used oncarrot.com for their site? Any other sites that I should be looking at....just looking for a template to get my site off the ground.
I've also looked at investorpro.com and, of course, just grabbing a WP theme and creating a site.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

A web site is a web site, but there are web site's that work and those that don't.
Oncarrot.com, like so many website developers, offer templates. The question you should ask them before proceeding, is: Are their pages created with frames or tables?
Frames cannot be penetrated by search engine spiders, so any content (text) will not be used for organic optimization, whereas text contained in tables, can. (Search engines look at frames, the same way they see images... as whole objects).
Secondly, ditch whatever text comes with your template and employ a professional writer to create your verbiage. Using www.Copyscape.com, you can see how many people share the same text on template sites and search engines actually penalize web sites, where text is duplicated (such as franchise sites).
Thirdly, when you create your 'keywords', make certain that those same keywords appear in the first paragraph of your Home page *AND* on your About page.
I hope this has helped.
