If you’ve used the Neve theme, you know the value of starter sites: pick a template, import it with one click, and you get a real starting point instead of a blank page. Sections are prebuilt, layouts are decided, and you only need to add content and clients.
Recently the starter site library has grown a lot. Instead of adding templates randomly, we began releasing focused batches that fill real gaps—niches that kept coming up in support requests and project types builders repeatedly faced. The progression: 15 sites in the first batch, 35 in the second, and 48 in the latest release. That steady, targeted growth has pushed the collection past 150 templates and counting.
The goal is simple: give WordPress builders a library that covers almost any client they’ll meet so they don’t have to start from zero.
What you’ll find
Health & wellness: This is one of the deepest sections. Rather than a single generic wellness design, there are distinct templates for a solo yoga instructor, a pilates studio, a burnout recovery coach, and a luxury wellness retreat—each tuned for different tones and conversion goals. Niche examples like BrightSmile Dental show how a dental template can be purpose-built (for example, easing anxious patients into booking) rather than only looking clinical.
Education & learning: Education templates now span a surprising range—chess academies, kindergartens, coding bootcamps, guitar teachers, and personal-brand coaching academies. These reflect the real variety of education clients freelancers and agencies face and save a lot of custom time.
E-commerce: Beyond generic stores, the e-commerce templates emphasize character. Maison Cortese is a heritage winery design that feels like a wine label rather than a standard shop theme. Qaleb Al-Attar showcases a luxury Arabian perfumery aesthetic that stands apart from typical marketplace templates.
Business & professional services: Local trades and civic sites were previously thin on options. Now there are layouts tailored for plumbing, cleaning, and moving companies with designs optimized for high-intent local search. There are also templates for city and government sites, and for fintech/Web3 brands that need to communicate both innovation and trust.
News, blogging & media: The editorial toolkit has expanded to include templates for film criticism publications, specialty hobby blogs like knitting, TV station sites, and more niche aesthetics such as a dark/goth blog—covering the real diversity of content projects built on WordPress.
How Neve Pro users can help shape the library
Community feedback drives what gets built next. Neve Pro subscribers have a direct line: if you have a client niche that isn’t covered, tell the team and they’ll prioritize building it—some requests can be added to the library within seven days. Not on Pro? You can still influence the roadmap by leaving requests and comments; the most-requested niches move up the queue.
The library keeps growing
150+ starter sites is a milestone, but not the finish line. The aim remains to get as close as possible to a collection where you never have to start from zero, whatever client walks through your door. If there’s a niche you wish existed, share it—those suggestions shape future releases.
