Growth idea action plan
Framer template gallery proof images before submit
Require at least two listing images that show the real template before submission so the page proves what the buyer is about to remix.
Why this can grow a startup
Template marketplaces lose trust when the card promises a workflow the preview never actually shows. A minimum image set fixes that at the shelf level. The buyer can scan the product shape, spot whether the design fits the job, and decide whether the page is worth a preview click. The gain is not only conversion. It is also a better creator loop because weak listings are forced to explain themselves visually before they are allowed into the marketplace.
Key metric to watch
Framer requires at least 2 showcase images for a template submission.

For conversion, I would strip the test down to one promise, one proof point, and one next step. Confusion kills good demand. For this tactic, I would watch Framer requires at least 2 showcase images for a template submission. before putting more time or budget behind it.
