Nice work! But why should I use this instead of https://wrapbootstrap.com https://wrapbootstrap.com?

Unlike most marketplaces, we're offering high payments for authors who don't sell exclusively with us. We're seeing a lot of high-quality theme shops opening up who want the option to sell on their own platforms but still utilize marketplaces for additional exposure. While wrap has done a great job building up a user base and getting first mover advantage, we're always reading complaints on social media and forums that their support is lacking and that the site has not been updated. We wanted to give designers a better option and give great support to both buyers and sellers. Once we increase our sales and following, I'm confident that authors will want to switch over. Right now we're on page 3/4 of Google hoping to move up to page 1 very soon. Our goal is to grow a great community around the marketplace. We've already started doing this with our blog and tutorials. We will be adding more features in the near future.

  Then don't say you're "a marketplace for Bootstrap themes & templates", but "jump" at your visitors with what makes you unique and/or better. Btw: I really dig the smaller thumbnails, they make me feel I have a better overview over what's going on. Edit: wait, that's just on the first page. Sigh. I don't really like large-ish thumbnails á la [0], especially in the retina age. 0: https://wrapbootstrap.com/ https://wrapbootstrap.com/

    That makes a lot of sense. I think there's a few adjustments we can definitely make. [Edit] Just modified our homepage text. Hopefully this communicates our value proposition a bit better. Thanks again for pointing this out.

      I'm seeing lots of themes that are also available at other theme stores, what safeguards are in place to stop people from selling themes that aren't theirs to sell?

        We always do a quick search and cross reference the email, author name, and theme info to make sure everything matches up. It's usually pretty easy to sniff out when someone uploads a theme that isn't theirs.

Because if you ever have a problem with wrap bootstrap you will get no response. I paid for a theme on WB and never received it. Emails to support and phone calls to the registered number for the domain went unanswered. I had to email the theme's author and he sent me a copy. Had he not responded then WB would have effectively taken my money without providing me service, with my only recourse being a chargeback.
