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

  • I don't know how reputable they are, but envato has a marketplace for HTML site templates at https://elements.envato.com/web-templates/site-templates

    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.

  • If you want a data point, I purchased a Tailwind-based landing page template for 49$ and would'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's done.

  • 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 :-)

  • yes
