I was looking at template marketplaces today and i keep noticing the same thing.

For example squarespace templates cost $250 or more. and the design is often just okay. sometimes it even looks old.

Framer templates cost much less, and the quality is higher. Better motion, better details, better polish. Things squarespace simply can't do.

The interesting part: those $250+ templates actually sell - on Etsy and other places.

The gap makes sense though. Squarespace powers around 4.7M sites, 2.5% of the whole web.

Framer is maybe 10x smaller. Still early.

so my real question: as Framer grows, will template prices go up too? will good design finally get the price it deserves?

Are we still early enough that today's prices are just the start?

Because if they are, this is the time to build.
