Starter templates
The neighborhood layouts that seed a new site with pages arranged in a useful 3D shape.
Open in the interactive manual →The interactive version has full-text search, a table of contents, and light/dark themes.
When you create a site from Settings ▸ Sites, you start from a template, a small set of pages arranged in a 3D layout. They're starting points, not straitjackets; rearrange freely.
| Template | What it builds |
|---|---|
| Blank | An empty scene with one home page. |
| Hello World | The one-minute starter: a spinning globe made of the word "hello" plus a greeting. More → |
| Gallery | A home page plus six portfolio cards arranged in a ring, ideal for showing work. |
| Plaza | A home page with four pages at the compass points (about, services, and so on). |
| Garden | Five organic clusters spread out, suited to longform or journal-style sites. |
| Arcade | Five attractions in a row: walk left to right through them. |
| Profile Card | A link-in-bio card: your name, a tagline and a few link buttons. |
| Product Showcase | One hero object on a pedestal a visitor can tap to inspect in 3D. |
| Gallery Wall | A wall of photo frames to swap your own pictures into. |
| Event Invite | A "You're invited" scene with the details and an RSVP button. |
Turning the plates off
Those district plates are real in the published scene, not just the editor: each cluster of pages gets a tinted ground tile, a border ring on it, and a sign naming the cluster. They're helpful when a site has several distinct neighborhoods, and less helpful when it doesn't. Pages group by their cluster label, and pages that have none all fall into one cluster, and a plate only means something next to another one. So a site with a single cluster (including every one-page site) gets no plate, ring, sign or street furniture at all, and neither does a scene stacked up the vertical like a page, however many sections it has.
Uncheck Show neighborhood plates (published) in Settings ▸ Selection + Visual Feedback and the tiles, rings, and signs are gone from the published scene. It sits next to Show ground plane (published) and works the same way. It's on by default, and scenes published before the switch existed keep exactly the look they were published with. The alternative, if you want to keep them, is to give your pages cluster labels so they group into the neighborhoods you meant.
