If you’ve used the Neve theme, you know about its starter sites: pick a template, import it with one click, and you get a real starting point instead of a blank page. Sections, layouts, and conversion-focused elements are already in place—you only add content and clients.
Recently the starter site library has expanded significantly. Instead of adding templates one-by-one, the team began releasing them in purposeful batches aimed at filling real gaps. Early releases were useful, but the newer drops target niches designers and agencies repeatedly build for, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time.
Growth by design
The rollout has been steady and strategic: 15 sites in the first batch, 35 in the second, and 48 in the most recent release. That momentum has pushed the library past 150 starter sites and counting. The collection now covers not only common needs like agencies, portfolios, and SaaS, but many specific client types that used to require starting from scratch or heavy customization.
Examples of what’s available
Health & wellness: This is one of the deepest sections. Rather than a single generic fitness layout, there are templates for solo yoga instructors, pilates studios, burnout recovery coaches, and luxury wellness retreats—each designed with the right tone and conversion goals. BrightSmile Dental shows how niche specificity works: it’s crafted to help anxious patients feel comfortable booking an appointment.
Education & learning: The education category now includes a wide variety of clients, from the Royal Gambit Chess Academy to kindergartens, coding bootcamps, guitar teachers, and personal brand coaching academies. These represent the real diversity of education-related projects freelancers and agencies encounter.
E-commerce: Beyond basic shop templates, the e-commerce picks bring character and fit specific product stories. Maison Cortese is a heritage winery design that feels authentic to wine branding, while Qaleb Al-Attar presents a luxury Arabian perfumery aesthetic you won’t find in generic marketplaces.
Business & professional services: The library covers local trades like plumbing, cleaning, and moving services with layouts optimized for high-intent local search. Civic and government templates—often overlooked elsewhere—are available too, as are fintech and Web3 templates like VaultX that balance trust and innovation.
News, blogging & media: The editorial toolkit includes film criticism publications, niche hobby blogs like knitting, TV station layouts, and even themed aesthetic blogs. These templates reflect the realistic range of content sites people build on WordPress.
How Neve Pro users can shape the library
The starter library grows based on community needs. Neve Pro users have a direct line: if you bring a client in an uncovered niche, tell the team and they’ll build and add a template to the library—often within seven days. Not on Pro? You can still influence the roadmap by suggesting niches in the comments; the most requested templates move up the priority list.
What’s next
150+ is a milestone, not the finish line. The aim is a library that makes starting a new project fast and consistent, no matter the client type. If you keep wishing a particular niche existed, share that request—user feedback shapes what comes next.
