The Little Guy Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 A. If I were to sell templates that I create, what would be the best way to distribute them? A1. The way I was thinking is put all the files into a zip file and giving it to the person who buys it. B. When sending the HTML file, how should the file be laid out so when a person makes changes to it they know what to do to it? B1. I was thinking the best way to do that is to place an HTML comment block that the person deletes to add his/her code. C. Any suggestions on selling templates?

Philip Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 A. A1 would be fine. B. Break into sections, with descriptions. I'd recommend also commenting on start/end tags (e.g. what </div> it belongs to) C. If you don't mind not getting all the profit... take a look at http://www.themeforest.net They do all the advertising and such, but you only get a % of the profit.

The Little Guy Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Any suggestions on how I can give the user a preview in a way that would make it hard/impossible to copy/paste code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Screenshots. A live preview will review the working HTML/CSS/JS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 A live preview will review the working HTML/CSS/JS. Yeah thats too bad Screenshots is what I was planning to do. Too bad flash cant render HTML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Moronic Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Screenshots will definitely suffice. Once you've built up a reputation you're not going to have to worry about proving the templates work with live previews. What you could do is feature a single template for *free* which is packaged exactly as your other templates (with screenshot etc) and allow a live preview and download. I would have thought that would increase the confidence people have in your templates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
