Professional templates

At a glance

The community member suggests that the company should offer professional, stylish pre-made templates for different types of websites, possibly designed by credible designers, to add value to their business. They compare this to Framer's template library and Canva's ecosystem. However, the comments indicate that the community members believe the templates should be created by the community, as Framer does, rather than the company. The comments also discuss the challenges of maintaining a template library, such as the need for diverse templates, the time and resources required, and the potential for using incentives or competitions to encourage community contributions. There is no explicitly marked answer, but the comments suggest the company is currently focused on the core product and may rely on the community to create and maintain templates.

Useful resources
I love what you guys are doing, especially with open sourcing the project.

What I think would add great value to your business would be professional stylish pre made templates for different types of websites. (Possibly designed by credible designers in the field)

Framer has a great library of templates designed by professional designers. I think that's super important for Framers reputation - it's powerful but can pretty easily also look good and trendy. It gives them more credibility. Sort of like Canva with Photoshop power.

However they lock you in their ecosystem. And thats where the Webstudio shines.

It could also be a great revenue stream for the company.

Generally, I think community should make them. Afaik templates in framer are also made by community.
Tempaltes should be diverse and they require maintenance. For now we are a small team, focused on the core. Community needs to step in. There are some people who are already working on it.
That's even better! Maybe you could do a reward competition or something to give your community incentive.
incentive should be based on exposure and intrinsic motivation
I don't think rewards works long term
if anything we need to make it on a regular basis and currenlty we don't have the time to manage that
human resource required to organize this well is non-trivial
you need to justify decisions, make objective criteria, organize dates and and and
