Thoughts on Templates?

Hi,

Just a question for all Freeway’ers’… Do you think there should be an online shop set up to sell templates? I have been considering this for a while and have started setting up a site but wanted to know if it really would be wanted. If there was a shop what kind of price range would be considered suitable?

Thanks,

Fergus T

I have a few templates I’m working on and off of right now and to be honest it’s hard work. You have to think about what people might use them for and how specific do you need to get or perhaps how many images should you use.

The biggest part though is trying to figure out your audience and if they’re going to understand how a buzz-word laden description in a site template is going to withstand their own personal “knowledge-ability” in being able to easily understanding how to make needed changes. Sure images are easy, but do you want to just do Pro Templates or both?

I even debated running through the Softpress site, for most of the templates, and correct all the style mistakes and update them properly. I just downloaded one that had like 8-10 styles for one header tag. (Not knocking if you made that one :slight_smile: ) But I think something needs to be done and there could be a market for them.

I’d be willing to try and set something up with you to get the ball rolling on making some awesome templates.

That’s an interesting proposition. It would be good to have a few different people involved to distribute their templates too! No, I haven’t made any that feature on the Softpress Site. I’ll send you an email sometime in the future to discuss further once I have things a bit more sorted.

Thanks,

Fergus
