Choosing a look#

Eight starter designs cover the common shapes of a UK small business site: local trades, professional services, creative studios, food and hospitality, charities, portfolios and a single-page launch. They are ordinary websites, complete with an ordinary structure you can rearrange; nothing locks you into a layout.

Each template previews with your business name in it and its real pages, not a screenshot. Look at two or three pages at phone width before deciding; a design that needs no editing to look right on a phone is worth more than one clever desktop arrangement.

Eight starters cover the common shapes of a UK small business site, from trades to charities.

Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.

  1. 1Start a new website and look through the categories rather than the first row.
  2. 2Preview two or three and read a page that matters, usually the home page.
  3. 3Choose Use this look when one feels like the business.

What a template includes#

A template brings pages, sections, placeholder wording, a font pairing, a colour palette and a matching logo idea. The wording is deliberately generic ("Dish one", "£0.00") so nothing invented ever reads as real; it is there to be typed over.

Every part of it obeys the ordinary rules: sections can be moved, deleted or duplicated; the theme can be changed; pages can be added or renamed.

The look and its pages

Pages, sections, a font pairing, a palette and a matching logo idea, all as ordinary editable content.

Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.

Good to know: Placeholder prices and names exist to be replaced. The publish dialog checks for the obvious ones before the site goes live.

Changing your mind#

Templates are chosen when a website is created and cannot be swapped afterwards; the site has already been built from it. If a different direction is clear quickly, start a new website from the other template and delete the first, or save the work as a template of your own first if parts of it are worth keeping.

For an organisation with several websites, templates can also be shared across client workspaces, which keeps a group's sites consistent without copying files around by hand.
