My first premium landing page release experience 🥳

Greetings Guys,

Today I've released my first premium template for my side project Launchoice. I made it on TailwindCSS framework.

I want to give a $5 discount for first 10 customers. Use promocode first10.

I would be very grateful if you could share your opinion, as this is my first experience.

    Very clean presentation, the game here is finding customers that are willing to invest in your templates against the multitude of competitors out there. Has anyone implemented their templates in production? If so, maybe you should feature them so people can see how others have used your work!

      Hi Orlie,

      I agree with you. I started my project a month ago and so far I have very humble results. Almost everyone who downloads free templates leaves random emails and so I can't ask for feedback. But this is just the beginning, I think there will be feedback on the product later.

      And so, I have plans to make a quality product. Even during the launch of the product, I make templates better each time.

      Thank you for your advice and thoughts.

        Sure I don't think the problem is the quality (the quality looks good) but you need people who will testify that it's good and you need to "show" the final implemented results - not just the templates.

        1. 1

          You're right. I will try to get feedback. Thanks for the advice.

    I'm confused here, how are you better/different from wix/carrd?

    1. 1

      Hey Prateek, thank you for your question.

      It's very simple.

      Wix and other website builders are great, they allow you easily change your design, but you have to pay every month at least $14. Also, you don't own your website, it's yours as long as you pay. You can't move your website to another hosting or do anything else.

      And comparing my project with wix and other website builders is not quite right. There is a market for web builders and there is a market for templates.

      Buying templates will always be relevant, you pay once and it is yours forever.

      1. 1

        Okay, that makes sense. So is your value prop that I can move my site anywhere? Carrd charges $9/year.

        1. 1

          Disadvantages of web builders (some people won't notice these disadvantages):

          • Limitation on the number of visits
          • Can't add custom features
          • Without design skills, you can't build something good, (there are a lot of services to create websites on the builders)
          • Design is too templated (custom made templates are much more original)
          • There is a chance that the web builder may close
          • Not all web builders are suitable for different projects
          • Loading speed often poor
          • Redundant code can reduce promotion in search engines
          • Not always possible to add third-party code
          • Can not adapt with the website engine, while templates are very often adapted to different website engines

          Again, as I said earlier, web builders and templates have different markets and different target audiences that may overlap.

          And yes, by the way, the $9/year Carrd builder plan doesn't get you a custom domain.

          Web builder is perfect when you want to start or test a simple business and business idea.
