Framer template short description as search snippet
Write the template short description like a search-result sentence because Framer uses it in marketplace results and as the intro on the detail page.
Why this can grow a startup
Most template listings waste the first line on mood words. Buyers are scanning for the site they need to ship. If the short description names the use case cleanly, it does shelf work twice: once in the marketplace grid and again on the template page itself. That makes the preview click easier, improves self-selection, and lowers the gap between what the listing hints at and what the product actually is.
Company example
Framer's Creator Dashboard shows that the short description is used in search results and as the intro on the template page, with a dedicated field capped at 260 characters.
