Starter templates

Five neighborhood layouts that seed a new site with pages arranged in a useful 3D shape.

The interactive version has full-text search, a table of contents, and light/dark themes.


When you create a site, you start from a template — a small set of pages arranged in a 3D layout. They're starting points, not straitjackets; rearrange freely.

TemplateWhat it builds
BlankAn empty scene with one home page.
GalleryA home page plus six portfolio cards arranged in a ring — ideal for showing work.
PlazaA home page with four pages at the compass points (about, services, and so on).
GardenFive organic clusters spread out — suited to longform or journal-style sites.
ArcadeFive attractions in a row — walk left to right through them.
Templates improve over time Templates store the pages; the 3D scenery around them (district plates, ambient props) is generated when the scene loads. That means visual upgrades to the templates can improve your existing sites without you re-publishing.
