**Wow, just WOW!**

We talked about this a long time ago. Then Globals came out — a step in the right direction, but not _the_ solution.

Then things shifted to being very designer-centric. That’s not the market I’m in. I’m just a user now, with a desire to “just make a website.” [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) simply wasn’t the solution I wanted anymore.

Full circle — Templates _is_ that solution. Even more flexible than we originally discussed. It’s awesome that the templates now work with themes as well! It’s all thanks to the designer-centric work Realmac has been doing so diligently. I couldn’t see the bigger picture, but I’m really glad you all pushed through and developed your vision.

The folders are great for organizing.

**Respectfully, here are my requests:**

- Please build many (or all) of the examples I’ve shared in the past.
- Take the time to build accessibility into all of them, where appropriate.
- The core scaffolding idea is excellent.
- Clearly label any parts that could raise privacy concerns — scripts, data collection, etc.
  - Specifically, with the Contact form, there should be a button to confirm permission to collect and use data in order to generate a response email.

Others will probably have more specific ideas. I’m just trying to get it done.

**Thank you for all of this!**
