solution: phase 1 and 2 make sure there are certified designers to create foundational templates so that new users see high quality templates and base designs like that. Foundational templates acts like the kickstarter, we both want to ensure that quality templates are present so that new users just getting into the platform are able to see what they are capable of building with Lovable. Not only that but we want the the foundational templates to stem down it’s “quality” to the next remixed templates.
solution: discovery and explore pages feeds on curiosity as well as personal preference if someone sees an appealing design their curiosity will retain them as they continue designing. With the templates, it will become something bigger than a one-use tool for an assignment; it will become something an individual goes back to time after time to use for personal projects, summative assignments, or to pass time. By sheer amount of supply, discovery will drive retention. You don’t want to force feed them, you want them to feed themselves.
solution: offer all templates on the marketplace as free. users will pick templates to remix based off preference and as they go through their daily credits, the time and effort that they put it in will motivate them to convert themselves to a premium service to give themselves more credits to keep working. With the huge supply in templates, new users will be hooked for sure; to keep them in (retention) let them customize and play around. By the time they’ve hooked themselves into their own project they’ll pay anything to keep going. Simple laws of phycology: more effort you put into something, the more you are invested into it and willing to do anything to continue. Use human nature to our advantage.
