Where to get fancy description templates?

not really good idea, as many have mentioned with cell phone/pad users, my opinion however aside is that they are generally horrid and horrid looking, the ones that do look good are generally filled with to much info and tabled boxes that only display well on desktops. A better option, that i do and many others, is skip the drama displaying, make templates right from your seller hub for categories you sell in generally, keep it simple, list all the important and needed info and don't drown buyers in "fanzy" designs and colors/fonts. No one cares, they just want to know about the item, specifics, needed info and move on. Aside from that all the listing apps charge you monthly, no reason to spend more money on something that will make no difference in your sales. 

The great truth is there isn't one
And it only gets worse since that conclusion...

"Fancy templates" are so 1990s Geocities.

 

Left-justified plain black text is all you need. Keep it simple and clean.

Just to add on, not everyone is blessed with fast internet. I have DSL that runs 2.5 Mbps on a good day going downhill with the wind at my back. (Why? Because it's that or dial-up, those are my choices.)   Basic templates are okay, but some of the fancier ones just don't load, so I either have to refresh the page a few times, or leave and move on to a listing I can actually read. Guess which one I do most of the time?

 


😂  But you're not on the information dirt road, hopefully! 

 

Back in the olden days when people had 28 bps modems, I had moved to cable due to my job.  I still formatted for dial-up, though, because some minuscule part of the country had broad-band, and dear GAWD the templates some people had!  Some had a billion graphics stuck onto a repeat-pattern background, with cheesy midi music playing and trailing cursors (I used to call them 'trailing curses') and you'd just keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling with all of this seller ego drivel going on and on.  It was like someone bursting into your room dressed in plaid trousers, polka dot shirt, clown shoes and playing bagpipes, they are drunk and they won't stop. 

 

ETA: I'd say keep it simple.
