A couple of years ago there were lots of turnkey paysites and designs (specially paysite designs) offers around.
Anyone know where did these go? I mean, nowadays you can get exclusive design for almost the same money... so why there are not more turnkeys than before?
Having a nice exclusive tour could be nice... but having a couple of template tours is also good just in case you want to run another campaign and you don't want to use the standard tour for that one... you just go to the template store, get a fresh template and put the ccbill/nats code on it and it's ready to go.
Knowing that two years ago you were able to buy a turnkey paysite for $250, and now some designers offer you the exclusive design for the same money (even less)... I guess something is just wrong or the market has evoluted in the opposite direction.
Seeing how many designers here open threads with "give me work" I think that if some of them just make a couple of template designs and then put them in a shopping cart it could make them some money, and also help webmasters to find faster what they search for.
Dealing with a guy explaining him what I want takes lots of time and usually the design he delivers is not exactly at 100% what I want. Having a premade template design with a price near it makes it much more easy and fast. I can just choose the design and it's done. Usually delivery time is a great factor when making a purchase decision... and a straight download after payment or 24 hours after payment is a very nice option.
Now designers can jump on this thread with "give me work" replies... but a real difference would be something like "here you have my templates list, pay for the template you want and it's done".
Note that this post is about paysite tours templates and not about TGP and galleries templates.
Of course, if there are designers that are able to deliver the design 24 hours after order placing I would be happy to hear about them too
