Browse the Marketplace
The marketplace features 150+ professionally designed templates across 6 categories: Food & Hospitality, Health & Wellness, Professional Services, Home & Local, Tech & Business, and Community & Events. Every template is free to preview.
Preview Any Template
Click any template card to open a full live preview. Interact with it, check the layout on different devices, and see exactly what you will get. No account required for previewing.
Open the Editor
Click Get Started on any template to create your own copy and open the editor. From here, use the AI Customizer or Visual Editor to make it yours.
AI Customizer
The AI Customizer lets you modify your website by typing instructions in plain English or Spanish. Tell it what you want and the AI updates your template in seconds.
How It Works
1
Open the AI Customizer tab in the editor sidebar.
2
Type what you want to change in the text box.
3
Press Enter or click Send. The AI modifies your template and the preview updates in real time.
Example Instructions
"Change colors to blue and gold"
"Rename my business to Bella Vista Salon"
"Add a testimonial section with 3 reviews"
"Update the phone number to (787) 555-1234"
"Make the hero image a beach sunset"
"Translate everything to Spanish"
Voice Input
Click the microphone icon next to the text box to dictate your changes. Speak naturally in English or Spanish and the AI will transcribe and execute your instructions.
Voice input supports both English and Spanish
Drag & Drop Images
You can drag and drop images directly into the AI chat. The AI will incorporate them into your template where appropriate.
AI Credits
Each AI change uses 1 credit. Save credits by combining multiple changes into a single instruction:
"Change the name to Bella Vista, make the color teal, and update the phone to 787-555-0000"
Undo & Credit Refund
If you don't like an AI change, click Undo in the toolbar. The change reverts and your credit is automatically refunded.
Be specific for the best results. Say "dark navy blue" instead of just "blue". Reference sections by name: "in the hero section" or "in the pricing table".
Visual Editor
The Visual Editor gives you point-and-click control over your template. Change colors, text, and images directly without using any AI credits.
Color Theme Panel
The color panel shows 6 color roles (primary, secondary, accent, background, text, muted) as large visual swatches. Click any swatch to open the color picker. Or pick a one-click theme preset from 8 options (Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Midnight, Rose, Slate, Amber, Violet) to change your entire color scheme instantly.
"What do you need?" Prompt
At the top of the Visual Editor is a free-text field where you can type any change in plain language — just like the AI Customizer, but right from the visual editor tab. Uses 1 AI credit.
Change Colors
Click any color swatch in the sidebar to open the color picker. Changes apply instantly.
Upload & Manage Images
You have three ways to replace images:
Drag and drop an image from your computer onto any photo in the preview — it replaces instantly.
Click any image in the preview (green outline appears) then press Cmd+V to paste from clipboard.
Use the Image Manager panel in the sidebar to see all image fields with thumbnails, paste a URL, or remove images.
AI Image Generator
Generate images with DALL-E 3 directly in the editor (costs 2 credits). Describe the image you want → generate → drag the generated image onto any photo in the preview to replace it. You can also download it.
Toggle Sections
Turn sections on or off with a single toggle. Hidden sections will not appear on your published site.
Reorder Sections
Drag sections to reorder them. Your layout updates in real time.
The Visual Editor never uses AI credits (except the "What do you need?" prompt). Use it for quick changes like colors, images, and toggling sections. Save your AI credits for more complex modifications.
Double-Click to Edit
The fastest way to edit text: double-click any text in the preview to edit it directly. A text field appears right where you clicked, allowing you to type your changes inline.
1
Find the text you want to change in the live preview.
2
Double-click it. An editable field appears.
3
Type your new text.
