If you’ve used the Neve theme, you know about starter sites: pick a template, import it with one click, and you get a ready-made design instead of a blank page. Sections, layouts and conversion-focused elements are already in place — you just add content and launch.
The starter-site library has expanded rapidly and deliberately. Instead of adding generic designs, new additions have arrived in focused batches that fill real gaps—niches that kept surfacing in support threads and community requests. The rollout went from 15 templates in the first batch to 35 in the next and another 48 in the latest release. Today the collection tops 150 and continues to grow.
What that means for builders: you’re far less likely to start from scratch. The library now includes templates tailored to very specific clients and project types, not just the usual agency, portfolio, or SaaS layouts. Examples include dental clinics, wineries, chess academies, fintech platforms, moving companies, burnout coaches, and many more.
Health & wellness
The health section is one of the deepest. Rather than one-size-fits-all fitness pages, there are distinct templates for a solo yoga teacher, a pilates studio, a burnout recovery coach, and a luxury wellness retreat—each with different tone and conversion goals. BrightSmile Dental shows what niche-specific design looks like: it’s built to help anxious patients feel comfortable booking.
Education & learning
Education templates cover a surprising variety: a chess academy, a kindergarten, a coding bootcamp, a guitar teacher site, and a personal-brand coaching academy. These designs reflect the real diversity of clients freelancers and small agencies often encounter and make it easier to deliver a polished result quickly.
E-commerce
The e-commerce picks add character beyond typical shop templates. Maison Cortese is a heritage winery layout that feels authentic beside a wine label, while Qaleb Al-Attar is a luxury Arabian perfumery design that stands out from generic marketplace offerings.
Business & professional services
Local trades and civic sites are better represented now. There are layouts optimized for high-intent local search for plumbing, cleaning, and moving companies, plus templates for municipal and institutional sites. VaultX offers a polished option for fintech and Web3 brands that need to communicate innovation and trust.
News, blogging & media
The editorial collection has expanded to include a film-criticism publication, a knitting blog, a TV-station site, and even a goth-aesthetic blog. The variety reflects the many ways people use WordPress for content-driven projects.
How Neve Pro users can influence the roadmap
The library grows from community input. Neve Pro users have a direct line: if you need a niche template that isn’t available, request it and the team will build and add it to the library—often within seven days. Not on Pro? Requests still matter—submit niche ideas in the comments or feedback channels and popular requests get prioritized.
The goal and what’s next
150+ starter sites is a milestone, but not the finish line. The aim is a library that spares builders from starting at zero no matter what client shows up. If there’s a niche you keep running into, tell the team—those suggestions shape future releases.
