This post couldn't come at a better time. I was JUST looking for a landing page template for a new idea. Your pages are beautiful and just downloaded one to use. You should have a donation page for those that got value out of your free templates

Glad to hear that James :) Absolutely, but we didn't want to ask anything in exchange for these free templates (even attributions and linking back). If we will be able to provide extra value with the premium resources (actually, in the making), then our users can "reward" us for the work.

Would love to hear what the premium resources that provide extra value will be if you're okay with sharing now?

Hey Chris - of course! Each premium template will come with multiple pages and several pre-built components to facilitate the customization process (like mini websites). That's just the base, and we'll launch additional fancy perks gradually (e.g; React-based components).

Hi Davide, wanted to follow up (now 4 months later) and see how your "Pro" plan has been doing for you. Could you share any numbers? Thanks!

Nice, congratulations Davide! How have you been approaching marketing so far? Particularly in the earlier days of the business 🙂

Hi Chris, we haven't in a traditional way. In the beginning, we've been pretty lucky to get a lot of attention thanks to Indie Hackers, Product Hunt, etc.. but after the initial spike in traffic, we've just focused on developing new resources, because we thought it was the most valuable thing we could do to keep growing.
Generally speaking, we get plenty of traction thanks to our newsletter (approx. 25K subscribers), the world of mouth (a lot), SEO (just recently), and third-party coverages (when we release new resources).
We've also put a lot of effort into our blog recently, but it isn't paying off very well.
If there is anything specific you would like to know, please just ask :)-

Hey David, thanks for the reply :) did you already have newsletter subscribers from another channel, or were they all derivative of the product hunt and IH exposure?
Yeah, blogs are pretty tough to crack, I've worked at a few companies that managed to grow their whole business off the back of a successful blog though.

You're welcome Chris :) No, we didn't have (unfortunately). We've collected the first 1000/1500 subscribers via Gumoard (we've published the first free templates there without even a website), and from that base, we've started growing the list.
What has really worked in terms of subscriber growth, is that we require a social sign-in in order to download any templates from Cruip, so during that process, we ask our users to receive product news via newsletter - 85% of them accept.

Thanks, Volkan - It's definitely the launch of premium templates to ensure the project sustainability in the long run. They are coming by the end of June.

You have some beautiful designs can't wait to see the premium ones :)
Do you plan to launch on your site or use something like as well Themeforest?

Thank you, Volkan :) They will be launched on Cruip! Basically, it will become a platform of free and premium templates.
