Twelve businesses.
Twelve starting points.
None of these is a layout with the words taken out. Each one installs with its bookings configured, its products priced, its articles written and its brand decided — a working business you edit into your own.
Switched on, not just laid out.
A template on most platforms is a set of empty pages. Here it is a copy of a site that already works — every module the design depends on comes with it, configured, so the first thing you do is change a photograph rather than read a manual.
Every page, its navigation, its footer and its 404 — already wired to each other.
Colours, typefaces and spacing as tokens, so one change moves the whole site.
Services, resources, opening hours, pricing rules and add-ons, where the design uses them.
Priced, photographed and in stock, with the cart and the checkout already dressed.
The content types and real entries — a menu, a programme, a list of rooms.
The enquiry form, its fields and its confirmation wording, pointed at your inbox.
Sorted by the question the visitor turns up with.
Every one of these is a real site running on this platform. Open one to see what it does, what it needs switched on, and what you would change first — then open it in the editor and start moving things.
Terra — a seasonal kitchen
Serenity — a treatment studio
Marl — a small pottery
The Depot — hire by the day
Aster House — a small hotel
Stillhouse — one house to let
Threshold — a festival
Nightjar — a box office
Coalhouse — a band
Grainline — sell a file
Halstead — an installer
Meridian — an advisory practice
Nobody remembers the website. They remember that the table was there when they arrived.
What the site is forThree afternoons, and the third one is optional.
Pick a starting point and it is copied into your account — pages, brand, bookings, products, content and all. Nothing is shared with the original; it is yours from that moment.
Replace the words and the photographs. The prices, the opening hours and the services are edited in the dashboard, not in the layout, so you cannot break the page by changing what you charge.
Change the design, if you want to. Three colours and two typefaces move the entire site — or open the editor and move things by hand, or describe the change to an agent and watch it happen.
Start from an empty page instead.
A blank site is a first-class starting point here, not a punishment. You get the same modules, the same brand system and the same editor — and if you would rather describe the site than draw it, connect an agent and talk it through the first draft.
Pick one, and
change the words.
It takes about a minute to have a working site, and the rest of the afternoon to make it yours.
