An established website, originally created in 2000, is available for sale, offering two hatch pattern collections related to AutoCAD, a popular computer-aided design software. The site generates $10,000 annually in profit with negligible maintenance costs. It features a free and a paid hatch pattern collection, accommodating requests for complex designs representing materials like stone and wood. The owner, who fully created and owns the site and its products, is selling the entire package, including domain and product ownership.
Sales data from September 2007 to August 2008 reveal net profits of $9,917.97, mostly from website purchases and a reseller agreement with a third-party platform. The collections, primarily bought by U.S.-based architects, are sold at $29 for a single license and $49 for multiple users. The site requires minimal upkeep thanks to a system automating payment and download processes. Support needs are rare due to comprehensive online installation guides linked to AutoCAD.
Traffic mainly derives from search engines, direct visits, and external site links. Despite a decrease in site activity attributed to a lull in the U.S. housing market, it remains profitable with about 200 daily visits. The seller seeks a quick transaction and is willing to assist with the transition. The motivation for the sale includes a shift in focus to other projects. Payment is preferred via PayPal or bank transfer in GBP. The site boasts a longstanding niche presence and potential for revenue growth without additional input.
