RANT FULL SPEED AHEAD....

Here's something to talk about...

When a person offers templates and they brag that they have 100+ templates in a box, why-o-why do they feel they can count the exact same template 100 times because they change the color?

Like, lets get real here...

When someone says X number of templates that's what I'm expecting. If it's the same template with 100 different colors well then say so in the sales page. "Same Template 100 Different Colors"

I don't know about other peoples feelings on this but man I get fired up when this happens because it's deceiving.

Like I said, I feel it's not 100 different templates but rather 100 different colors of the same template.

People do the same with Blog templates as well. "25 High Converting Blog Templates" are you kidding me... it's the same boring template with 25 different solid colors.

Time for you people who offer templates to step up your game!

RANT COMPLETE ...

    lmao

    It's always nice to see a random rant now and again :p

    I agree though, it is mis-leading and I would consider it a bit of a con.

    The seller is obviously trying to 'appear' to add value by saying it's 100 different templates.

    Maybe, it would have been less mis-leading and just as effective to say something like "100 colour variations"?

    An acceptable rant, and I fully agree.

    Typical 'bloated' antic to appear of some grand value.

    The more I see, the more I learn, the harder it becomes to find products that aren't over-inflated by the creator's desire to sedate us

      I love a good rant. Yours was short, to the point, and it dealt with a topic I have not yet read a good rant about.

    Some people plant roses around an outhouse and call it a garden.

    It's as simple as choosing to avoid doing business with these people. What's the point in getting fired up?

    Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one’s ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act.

    Yeah but Mike's point is how do you know what you are getting?

    I recently downloaded a package of what I thought were ten mini-sites. What I got was one mini-site with different colors. Even though I got a refund it was still a waste of my time.

      Oh, I see now - I assumed there were previews... guess I've never considered buying designs I've never seen samples of.

      My bad.

    Better to spend money on a one of a kind looking site with REAL security, (as secure as possible anyway), and functionality then use a template hundreds of others are using.

    But that is just me.

    Well, I can see why they do it. I could do that one myself and I'm a complete techno-idiot. Hmmm - time for a WSO? What's the refund rate on those puppies?




    And - yes, I AM kidding.
