Landing Pages, Bootstrap Themes and UI Kits to make your web
I was started UIdeck for time-pass by writing UI related articles, besides running GrayGrids. Started crafting products as there are very few sites providing free yet high-quality templates/UI Kits.
Redesigned 5yrs old UIdeck website⚡New design is already live here: https://uideck.com and I would like to call it UIdeck 2.0 since we changed a lot of things with the design such as pricing and so on.
Please, check out and let me know your thoughts & feedback on the new site 🙌
May was a great month for UIdeck , we crossed $1500 revenue for the first time. Even though I was busy with LineIcons 2.0 release and was not able to release templates on time or send newsletters.
UIdeck's MRR was always stuck in between - 800/900/1000 USD
I was observing what are the reasons behind this sudden spike. So, I figured out (wild guess) a few points ...
1. Google Algorithm Changes: Google unveiled its core search algo update at the beginning of May, even though it has decreased the search traffic but, traffic was very much relevant. Means less but, quality traffic.
2. More focus on All-Access Pass: We started encouraging users/visitors to buy all-access pass instead of single templates and trying to influence them in the best possible way. As All-access pass price is $49/$99 it's better to get one all-access pass sell than 5 individual templates. I saw a good number of users who bought single templates earlier buying the all-access pass recently.
3. Creating Diverse Templates: Yes, it helped a lot. We are creating landing page templates for all types of businesses/niches instead of only focusing on startup, SaaS, and apps landing pages. Diverse products helped us to reach a diverse audience, this is what I realized lately.
4. Brand Visibility: Instead of only creating templates we also started creating resource and tutorial contents. So, users who have no interest to buy/download templates but, want to learn about landing page or web design related stuff will know us and consider checking out our templates in the future.

Just crossed the 💰1K sale of paid membership AKA 🔑All-Access Pass within 4 months of 🚀launching. Never expected that much from a freemium project📦 until I got the first membership sale in a week! 😍 Learn more: https://twitter.com/musharofchy/status/1139856845235818496
In March 2018 total revenue was $96 and in March 2019 it was generated $1088 ($800/monthly average) and its growing. https://puu.sh/Dq2A0/90501c9f0a.png
Many users were buying multiple products (commercial license), we started offering mega bundle in February as an experiment to make it cost effective for users to get more products with less price. In the last 5 months received an unexpected response from users about the bundle. Today, I have transformed bundle into All-Access Pass. So, users can get all product access for a fixed yearly price. Link: https://uideck.com/products/all-access/ It's kinda SaaS/Membership model for a freebie site :D
Started monetizing by introducing 2 pricing variations of each product.
Within a year, crafted 20+ in-house products as user demands were growing, we made it mandatory to register before get access to download free products.
After releasing a few templates and snippets, released our first free UI kit called Helium, which is now crossed 7K downloads! https://uideck.com/products/helium-ui-kit/
