Hi udkl! Thanks for your comment.

I am thinking about publishing something on themeforest BUT: 1. I don't think there is a section with UI Kits. I think that there is a section with HTML themes and I might (but just might) test that eventually; 2. it is very hard to differentiate yourself in a place where you have a lot of people doing something similar; 3. there isn't a lot of places on Internet where you could sell a UI Kit so I might try to create one by myself;

What is the thing (or things) that you think should be changed? It's true that I've left some links unset (I've fixed that, like an hour ago, to a certain level - but it will be much better soon). The thing I noticed is that people didn't get that the image (on the card with premium Kit) is a part of a carousel, so I set that to autoplay, for now. The part where you have a card with a premium UI Kit and the card with the free UI Kit should be straightforward, and all buttons work as they are supposed to. Is there something you think should be changed, or if something is unclear...and if there is - what exactly?

Once again, thanks for the feedback. It means a world to me, especially now when I'm still at the beginning of this business!

p.s. Sorry if there is a lot of grammatical errors. I'm too tired currently and English is not my first language.

Hey, not a problem.

1) The fundamental question is, why do you think there is a market for non-free bootstrap ui kits ?

When I search for "bootstrap ui kit", I get links to many free kits & see no advertisements related to ui kits (no one selling them).

So why do you think there is a market for premium bootstrap UI kits ?

2) I don't mind having a quick chat with you on slack or skype to go over the site as a user. I'm not a UI expert but you will atleast get a third person review.

Hi udkl!

1. I Googled "bootstrap ui kit" and, indeed, have found a lot of free Bootstrap UI Kits BUT it seems that a lot of these kits (maybe not most of them - I don't know because I didn't check all of the kits I have found) are free versions of premium kits. As I already mentioned, I do plan to add enough elements so that my customers could use each Kit for most of their needs. Besides creating UI elements, I also plan on creating example pages, so that customers could just modify those if they want. I'm thinking about offering PS or Sketch versions (I'll see about this) besides HTML version. One more reason for which I believe that there is a market for non-free Bootstrap UI Kits is that I see a couple of companies in this space that are doing well, so that's always a good thing/indicator :)

2. Hey, thanks! I'd love to hear your opinion. I'm going to contact you soon on your email address from your profile page. OK?

Once again, thanks very much for your constructive comments and your offer!
