I've thought of doing this for a while... I've built over 100 sites on Carrd which is such an awesome tool to get sites built in minutes without code (h/t/ @ajlkn ) so I built this one today solely on Carrd (of course!) I was talking about my new course 'Built with Carrd' where I teach how to build and ship mini-startups in minutes. Then spoke with AJ who gave the go-ahead on an unofficial site for it. If you build Carrd sites you can also put them up for sale (after you submit, I tell you how to send templates to those who bought). This is automated with the PayPal widget at the moment - I could use Stripe of course but keeping this open to others to have sites on, without Stripe in this case was more straight forward. But I have various options for the sellers. It costs $5 to submit a site to stop spam mainly.

This is great. Cardd as it is without it is very useful and straight forward for anybody looking to make something without coding. If you add this power-up to the product... I would love to see this site populated with tons of templates. PS: a discount for PH leads would help to promote it ;) (for buying templates)

@leonelmore absolutely. I'd say $39 is discount enough...not as expensive as themes for any major sites. This is built for the PH community but don't feel I need to discount this again since I've spent hours and a few years now building sites on Carrd and learning the platform. If it's too expensive then it's not for you 😊 I'd actually set the site live with every price being $1 by accident. Changed about an hour ago so it was kind of an accidental flash sale haha.
Leonel More
@bentossell haha I missed the flash sale! 😄 Being serious, the price it's great. I was thinking on the idea of promoting it with a 5 days discount for PH visitors or something like that, to help with growth. I totally agree it takes a lot of hard work!

Congrats Ben! Are there certain steps to prepare sites to be listed as templates? Is it as simple as submitting a site you've already made, leaving in all the information?

@graeme_fulton no specific steps I dont think.. you may need a certain type of Carrd account (PRO or something). I walk through the steps in the listing section and after submission I tell sellers how to clone and deliver them to whoever bought it!

I like Carrd templates for sure. When I read "Carrd Template Marketplace", my mind didn't "see" "Unofficial".

@thilawfab says it in the tagline and first thing it says on the site

Ben, this looks great, I'd suggest changing the color of the demo buttons which are tough to read, but otherwise the direction is good. Beyond PH and IH how are you planning on acquiring makers to submit their templates, and how to do you vet the designs?
Ben Tossell

@marcperel yeh the design is pretty shitty right now! Will change... actually I'll do it now. I'm not! this isnt going to become a distraction to my main focus which is the course right now :) - this was initially for fun. Not relying on this becoming a big thing
Jeffrey Wyman
so cool.
