Ask HN: A Web template created in just HTML and CSS. Would you consider buying?

8 pointsby interfacesketchover 4 years ago
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&#x27;t know how reputable they are, but envato has a marketplace for HTML site templates at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elements.envato.com&#x2F;web-templates&#x2F;site-templates" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elements.envato.com&#x2F;web-templates&#x2F;site-templates</a><p>I don&#x27;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&#x27;d love this. Nowadays frameworks are so complicated and opaque that it&#x27;s hard to understand what&#x27;s going on. Simple templates would be amazing. Maybe start simple with e-mail templates? Those are notoriously hard to get right.

If you want a data point, I purchased a Tailwind-based landing page template for 49$ and would&#x27;ve easily paid double.

Yes, I will. Please post here when you build one. Clean and simple code is rare.

Yes, I would. Please leave a reference to your product here when it&#x27;s done.

Thank you everyone for your encouraging comments. As with any product, there&#x27;s always the fear of &quot;if I build, will they come?&quot; But without building, I&#x27;ll never know. So time to get building :-)
