These are thousands of Web templates available for different products and frameworks e.g. WordPress, Ghost, Bootstrap, React, Vue, Hugo etc.<p>Would you ever consider buying a website template written simply in clean HTML and CSS, and with an attractive layout and graphics (but not tied to a product or framework)?<p>I ask because I am interested in creating something like this. But is it futile given how saturated the market for templates is? Would you only be interested in a template available for the framework or product you use?
I don't know how reputable they are, but envato has a marketplace for HTML site templates at <a href="https://elements.envato.com/web-templates/site-templates" rel="nofollow">https://elements.envato.com/web-templates/site-templates</a><p>I don't think a lot of them are particularly good though, and you might be able to fill a niche by making actual semantic web templates, with good clean design.
I'd love this. Nowadays frameworks are so complicated and opaque that it's hard to understand what's going on. Simple templates would be amazing. Maybe start simple with e-mail templates? Those are notoriously hard to get right.
Thank you everyone for your encouraging comments. As with any product, there's always the fear of "if I build, will they come?" But without building, I'll never know. So time to get building :-)
