How, where, and for how much should I sell a website template?
Hi,
I have made my personal website (not completely finished yet, but viewable at https://bruceroettgers.me) and am now thinking of maybe selling the code of the website on Gumroad?
- What is your feedback on the website?
- What do you think would be a good price for the template?
- On which marketplaces should I offer the template?
- How should I promote the template?
Please Note: Yes, the website is unresponsive, I will fix that before really going live. Please do comment on any other issues you encounter.
Thank you, Bruce.
hmm, templates are difficult if they are not high-end templates. but pricing is generally always difficult … no matter if for a bannane, car or software 😆
you might want to ask yourself the following questions too:
- how much time did you need for this template?
- how much time would someone else need?
- how much time would someone else saves if they use your template?
- how strong is the competition?
then it all depends on your goal setting:
- do you want to make money with it? (so, I mean, not just by the way like a small pocket money)
- or extend your visibility?
Some Marketplaces
- https://themeforest.net/
- http://www.templamatic.com/
- https://www.fantero.com/
I have also seen templates on ebay 😂 theme forest is by far the best. I have already bought templates from it.
my opinion
because it is bootstrap, i don't think you can ask much for it. the competition is extremely big.
I spend about 3 hours developing it.
I think I could really charge non-tech people more money for it. They dont know about (and dont care about) Bootstrap.
My pricing ideas was something around $10 for the template and maybe $50 or so for setting it up service (e.g. letting people send me files and I'll set everything up for them)
