Trying to productize my front-end services (Tailwind)
https://www.templating.dev/
In my quest of trying to launch a valuable product for the market, I've put everything aside and I'm focusing on something that I already do as a freelancer : front-end templating using tailwind. Been inspired by the recents interviews of DesignJoy's founder. any feedback ?
Was actually thinking that a service like this would be really useful. You could also add templates to the offering later on.
Hey, thank you, that's encouraging !
I guess there is no way around it :
I'll document my progress here.
Hey! Cool project to work on! I learn a ton about template business when I start working on my No-Code Template Marketplace. Couple of ideas to explore:
2.Create bunch of templates and create offer with (Template + domain + customization + maintain the website) for X $ per month (without option to buy your template separatelly)
3.Create only template for special niche (micro saas, SI, SEO agency etc.) and connect direct to the founders of those niche on Twitter, Linkedin etc
4.If you do not want to create own templates and only work based on received Figam template and convert them you can start from connecting agency\freelancer that share their work on Dribble or Behance and offer to do this kind of work for them/their client but as a product and you will learn how to price this along the way based on the time you spend on this work.
With productize services is important to understand upfront how much time you need to done some work thats why at first is better to specialize or for based of your own templates because you will know them well and work faster so your actuall rate per hour will be better.
Good luck man!
hey man, thanks so much, there are some great ideas there. I'll get back to you after implementing!
This is interesting. Building something similar and would love to connect.

Hey thank you, the article is very valuable ! I was thinking about enrolling in his course. Thanks for your help, i’ll reach out if necessary!
If you're a developer I recommend buying a template or turning a Figma template to Tailwind for the landing page.
It lacks that wow factor and buttons are missing hover effects etc.
Attention to detail I guess is something customers are looking for.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. That makes sense. I’ll see how how I can improve the design for sure.
