Overview
GritCMS includes over 100 page templates that you can apply to any page with a single click. Each template is a complete page layout with pre-configured sections -- a header, hero, content sections, and footer already arranged and filled with realistic placeholder content. Apply a template, then customize the text, images, and colors to match your brand.
Templates are the fastest way to create a professional-looking page. Instead of picking and arranging individual sections, you get a complete page structure in seconds.
How Templates Work
A template is a predefined list of sections with default content. When you apply a template to a page:
- The template's sections are added to your page, replacing any existing sections.
- Each section gets a copy of the template's default content.
- You can then edit any section's content, reorder sections, add new sections, or remove sections you don't need.
Templates are a starting point, not a constraint. After applying a template, you have full control over every section on the page.
Applying a Template
- Navigate to the page editor (create a new page or open an existing one).
- Click Browse Templates in the structure panel of the page builder.
- The Template Gallery opens as a full-screen modal.
- Browse templates by category using the tabs, or use the search to filter.
- Click a template card to see a preview listing all its sections.
- Click Use Template to apply it to your page.
You can also click Start Blank to dismiss the gallery and build your page from scratch.
Note: Applying a template replaces all existing sections on the page. If you have unsaved work, save your page before applying a template.
