Everyone is worried about more competition on the Framer marketplace. I'm excited about it.
After Framer opened the marketplace so anyone can submit templates, I saw a lot of people saying it will become overcrowded and turn into a fish market.
But why is that necessarily a bad thing?
If a buyer has $49 to spend on an agency template, do you think they'll choose the cheap, poorly designed option or the one that's polished, professional, fully functional, and clearly provides more value?
Most buyers will choose quality.
That makes this a win-win situation.
Buyers get more choices and better templates.
Creators are pushed to raise their standards and build products that genuinely stand out.
The market hasn't become worse. The bar has simply moved higher.
The opportunity is still there, it's just no longer enough to build another average template.
Now it's time to create premium, high-quality products that people actually want to buy.
