I’ve seen a lot of people worried about @framer removing the template approval process, and I get it.
The Marketplace will probably get flooded with more low-quality and broken templates. That part is true.
But who is actually going to buy them?
Would you pay for a template that looks rushed, breaks on mobile, has messy components, or feels unfinished? I wouldn’t.
Publishing a template is one thing. Selling it is another. The creators who actually put time into their work will still stand out. People notice when a template is responsive, well structured, easy to edit, properly documented, and polished.
@hxmzaehsan also mentioned the importance of building an audience around your business, and he’s right.
Your job is not just to design a template, publish it, and wait. You also need to market it, talk about it, show the process, build trust, and give people a reason to care about your work.
Yes, the Marketplace may become more crowded. Discoverability might get harder too. But more templates do not automatically mean more real competition.
Good work will still stand out. Especially when the creator knows how to market it.
