The blog template library gives you a collection of professionally designed starting points for your blog site. Instead of building a layout from scratch, select a template, preview it, and apply it — then customize colors, fonts, and content to match your brand.

​
Accessing the template library

1

Navigate to blogs

Go to Sites > Blogs and click + New Blog to create a new blog site, or open an existing blog site.
2

Open the template library

In the blog site editor, click Templates in the toolbar. The template library opens with a grid of available designs.
3

Browse by category

Filter templates by industry or style — business, health & wellness, real estate, coaching, e-commerce, and more. Use the search bar to find templates by keyword.

​
Previewing templates

Click any template card to open a full-screen preview. The preview shows:
  • Desktop layout — how the blog home page and post pages look on desktop screens
  • Mobile layout — toggle to see the responsive mobile view
  • Sample content — placeholder text and images that demonstrate the template’s structure
Preview multiple templates before committing. The template you choose determines the overall layout structure — header, post grid, sidebar, and footer — so pick one that matches your content strategy.

​
Applying a template

1

Select a template

From the preview screen, click Use Template or Apply.
2

Confirm the action

If your blog site already has a layout, a confirmation dialog warns that applying a new template will replace the current design. Existing posts and their content are not affected — only the site layout changes.
3

Wait for the template to load

The template applies within a few seconds. The editor refreshes to show the new layout with placeholder content.
Applying a template to an existing blog site replaces the current layout. If you have made extensive design customizations, consider duplicating the blog site first as a backup before applying a new template.

​
Customizing after applying

After applying a template, customize it to match your brand:
  • Colors and fonts — update the blog site’s color scheme and typography in the design settings
  • Logo and header — replace the placeholder logo and header text with your own
  • Navigation — add or remove menu items and category links
  • Footer — update footer content, social links, and copyright text
  • Post layout — adjust how post cards display on the blog home page (grid, list, or featured layout)
  • Sidebar widgets — add, remove, or reorder sidebar elements like search, categories, recent posts, and email subscribe

​
Sharing templates across accounts

If you manage multiple accounts or sub-accounts, you can share a customized blog template:
  1. Design and finalize your blog site layout in one account
  2. Use the Share or Export option in the blog site settings to generate a shareable template link or snapshot
  3. In the target account, import the template using the link or snapshot file
Template sharing availability depends on your account plan. Contact support if the share option is not visible in your blog site settings.
