If you’ve built sites with the Neve theme, you already know about starter templates: pick one, import it with a click, and you have a full design to customize instead of a blank canvas. Sections, layouts, and conversion-focused blocks are already in place—you just add content and launch.
What’s changed recently is the scale and focus of the library. Instead of sporadic additions, Neve’s team has been releasing templates in deliberate batches aimed at niches people kept asking for. The result: a library that now exceeds 150 starter sites, covering everything from dental clinics and wineries to chess academies, fintech platforms, moving companies, and niche wellness practices.
How the collection grew
The rollout has been methodical: 15 sites in the first batch, 35 in the second, and 48 in the most recent release. Each wave targeted gaps that showed up repeatedly in support tickets and community requests—areas where builders were repeatedly reinventing the wheel. That strategy has turned the starter library into a toolbox that addresses the real-world variety of client work.
Highlights by category
Health & wellness
This is one of the deepest sections. Instead of a single generic “wellness” theme, there are distinct templates for solo yoga instructors, pilates studios, burnout-recovery coaches, and luxury retreats. Each design reflects different tones and conversion goals—BrightSmile Dental, for example, is built to reassure anxious patients and encourage bookings rather than just looking clinical.
Education & learning
Education templates now cover a surprising range: chess academies, kindergartens, coding bootcamps, guitar teachers, and personal-brand coaching academies. These designs match the real diversity of educational clients freelancers and agencies encounter, making them easier to launch and tailor.
E-commerce
Beyond basic shop layouts, the e-commerce templates bring character. Heritage winery templates that feel like a brand story rather than a storefront, and luxury perfumery designs with distinct cultural styling, show that templates can be niche-focused and brand-appropriate rather than generic.
Business & professional services
The library has filled gaps for local trades and civic sites: plumbing, cleaning, moving companies, municipal and institutional templates. Those builds are optimized for local intent and usability, not just visual polish. There are also templates for fintech and Web3 brands that balance innovation with trust.
News, blogging & media
Editorial templates now span film criticism sites, niche hobby blogs, TV station layouts, and aesthetic-specific magazines. The variety reflects the real spectrum of content-driven projects people create with WordPress.
Shape what’s built next
Growth is community-driven. Neve Pro users can request niche templates directly and, if prioritized, see a new template added to the library within seven days. Even if you’re not on Pro, the team tracks requests and prioritizes the most requested niches, so your feedback matters.
What this means for builders
With 150+ starter sites, you’re far less likely to start from zero when a new client arrives. The library aims to cover typical and unusual client types so you can focus on content and customization instead of core layout decisions.
