Features of TemplateCat

Curated, Premium-Only Library

We don't do amateur hour. TemplateCat exclusively sources templates from elite website builders like Framer, Webflow, and Squarespace—platforms known for hiring top-tier professional designers. This means every template you browse is vetted for quality, modern aesthetics, and solid code. You're getting the crème de la crème, saving you from sifting through mountains of low-effort designs. It's a guarantee of professional-grade starting points for any project.

Hyper-Specific Filtering & Discovery

Forget generic searches. Drill down with surgical precision using our massive filter system. Need a "minimalist" style template for a "dentist" with a "booking" feature? Done. With over 200 categories, 27 distinct styles, and 38 functional features to mix and match, you can pinpoint the perfect template that matches both the vibe and the functional requirements of your project in a few clicks.

Live On-Page Preview & Device Switching

See it live before you commit. Every template features an embedded, interactive preview right on the TemplateCat page. Even better, flip between desktop, tablet, and mobile views instantly to check responsiveness. This hands-on inspection eliminates guesswork and ensures the template looks flawless on every screen, saving you from nasty surprises after you've already started your build.

Transparent Pricing & Cost Comparison

No more hidden fees or platform-hopping to find prices. TemplateCat lists the cost for each template directly on its card, showing you the starting price and potential upper range. This makes comparing the true cost of starting with a template across different builders effortless, allowing for smarter, faster budget decisions for you or your client.

Use Cases of TemplateCat

The Freelance Web Designer on a Deadline

You just landed a new client who needs a sleek portfolio site ASAP. Instead of burning hours scouring multiple builder marketplaces, you hit TemplateCat. Filter by "Portfolio" category, select "Dark" style, and sort by "Latest." You find three perfect options, preview them on mobile, compare the Framer vs. Webflow pricing for your client, and present polished choices in under 15 minutes. Client impressed, time saved, cash secured.

The Digital Agency Scaling Operations

Your agency juggles 10+ client projects monthly, each needing a unique template foundation. TemplateCat becomes your team's secret weapon. Junior designers can independently find vetted, high-quality options for a "restaurant," "SaaS," or "non-profit" project using the detailed filters. This standardizes quality, accelerates project kickoffs, and lets senior creatives focus on custom magic, not template hunting.

The Entrepreneur Bootstrapping a Business

You're launching your own startup and need a pro website without a pro budget or design skills. TemplateCat lets you browse beautiful, functional templates for "Startups" or "E-commerce" with features like "Pricing Tables" or "Testimonials." You can compare the ongoing costs of Squarespace vs. Webflow for the template you love and make a financially savvy choice. It's your shortcut to a credible online presence.

The Developer Needing Design Inspiration

You're a code wizard but sometimes hit a creative block for front-end layout and UX flow. TemplateCat acts as your inspiration engine. Browse the "Brutalist" style or filter by templates with unique "Parallax" features to see how top designers solve problems. Use the live previews to deconstruct interactions and layouts, sparking ideas for your own custom builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TemplateCat really free to use?

Absolutely, 100% free. There is no cost to browse, search, filter, and preview the entire massive library of templates. We built this to save designers time and frustration. You only pay when you decide to purchase and use a specific template directly on its source platform (like Framer or Webflow). We just make finding the perfect one a breeze.

Which website builders do you source templates from?

Right now, TemplateCat features professionally designed templates from the big three: Framer, Webflow, and Squarespace. We're actively working to expand this library and plan to add templates from other high-quality platforms like Figma Sites and Readymag in the near future, aiming to become the most comprehensive resource out there.

How do you ensure the quality of the templates?

We have a strict "no junk" policy. We only pull in templates from established website builder marketplaces that are known for their high design standards and that employ or curate work from professional designers. This means every template in our index has already passed a quality bar before it even reaches our catalog.

Can I filter templates by price?

Currently, you can see the listed price range for each template directly on its card, which helps with quick comparisons. A "pricing range filter" is a feature we've identified as a major need and is officially on our roadmap as a "Coming Soon" upgrade. Soon, you'll be able to filter searches to show only templates within your specific budget.
